[MlMt] Word wrapping in Markdown introduces line breaks

[Benny Kjær Nielsen]

Hi,

it's not possible to do this using a filter. Well, a filter could 
probably make the generated HTML as desired, but this would not solve 
the problem of the plain text part still being hard-wrapped. A separate 
filter would be needed to fix that (unwrapping it to allow MailMate to 
use `format=flowed` to wrap it).

Eventually (I've been saying this for years though), I'm likely to allow 
custom Markdown converters and then I'll have to consider this problem 
as well since most of the converters do not behave like the one in 
MailMate. I'm thinking I might have hinted at the best solution in my 
answer above, that is, a separate filter which can convert plain text 
Markdown to non-hard-wrapped Markdown. That might be non-trivial though 
since such a converter would have to be aware of the exact Markdown 
syntax supported bye the custom converter...
