The Emacs MIME manual says it is not directed at users, but some things seems to only be documented there. Should things be duplicated elsewhere as well? Where? Flowed text =========== The Emacs MIME library will respect the `use-hard-newlines' variable (*note 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, lines terminated by soft newline characters are filled together and wrapped after the column decided by `fill-flowed-encode-column'. This 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. 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'.
