emacs-mime: Flowed text

 
 2.7 Flowed text
 ===============
 
 The Emacs MIME library will respect the ‘use-hard-newlines’ variable
 (Hard and Soft Newlines (emacs)Hard and Soft Newlines.) when
 encoding a message, and the “format=flowed” Content-Type parameter when
 decoding a message.
 
    On encoding text, regardless of ‘use-hard-newlines’, lines terminated
 by soft newline characters are filled together and wrapped after the
 column decided by ‘fill-flowed-encode-column’.  Quotation marks
 (matching ‘^>* ?’) are respected.  The variable controls how the text
 will look in a client that does not support flowed text, the default is
 to wrap after 66 characters.  If hard newline characters are not present
 in the buffer, no flow encoding occurs.
 
    You can customize the value of the ‘mml-enable-flowed’ variable to
 enable or disable the flowed encoding usage when newline characters are
 present in the buffer.
 
    On decoding flowed text, lines with soft newline characters are
 filled together and wrapped after the column decided by
 ‘fill-flowed-display-column’.  The default is to wrap after
 ‘fill-column’.
 
 ‘mm-fill-flowed’
      If non-‘nil’ a format=flowed article will be displayed flowed.
