Why does Balsa miswrap and misquote my replies?
Balsa and some other mailers, including Eudora, MacOS X’s mailer, and Mozilla Thunderbird, use a protocol defined in RFC 3676 to indicate portions of the text in a message that can be reflowed or displayed as quoted. They do this by adding the “Format=Flowed” and “DelSP=Yes” parameters to the content-type header. Mail that is exchanged between “flowed-aware” mailers should be reflowed and quoted intelligently. When you reply to a message sent by another mailer and quote the original, Balsa has no way to know whether the sender used line breaks to convey information. To avoid changing the meaning of the content, Balsa avoids changing the line breaks, except to break over-long lines. It does allow you to select part of the reply and reflow it, marking it as flowed, but that involves your judgment about what the sender meant.
