I have played around with this for the last days.

    -  if you just send a mail with use-hard-newlines, with or without using
       newlines preceding a paragraph-start line, then everything is
       _fine_ and behaves as expected, I can read that mail say on my
       Ipod just nicely since format=flowed is on.

    -  However, if I *reply* to an email, then this are much more
       complicated, because with use-hard-newlines, I see stuff like


> this blablak text > more text

       so the "best" solution would be to unfill the whole message
       (beyond 70 char) but I don't like this solution neither.
