I don't know what the current state of affairs is. At least with format=flowed, you get a 72-column wrap in clients which don't support it, which is not so bad in most clients. And in clients that do support it, it looks good, even on really tiny phone screens.</p>

Maybe it would help if reference-implementations were easily available (e.g., C++ and javascript) -- including a test suite. Similar to CommonMark I guess. It might still be possible to put pressure on most email client developers to add support for at least parsing “format=flowed” correctly. That would, in time, make it easier for email clients like MailMate to default to using “format=flowed” for outgoing emails.</p>
