Even such a simple thing as including a overlong protocol dump line would be destroyed by unconditional g-a-f-c-a. Consider this message and the following line: 1047 UID FETCH 21421:21423 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODY BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Subject From Date Message-Id References In-Reply-To Xref To Newsgroups)]) The goal of format=flowed is to make soft/hard newlines work in mail, applying g-a-f-c-a or something like it would destroy that goal. It is better to fix buggy MUAs like Opera...
