(Guess why every single participant in this thread uses that kind of line length.)
To quote from RFC2822:
There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
the CRLF.
I object (and strongly) against claims that mutt's format=flowed handler is "broken", or that not re-flowing lines on wide screens is a "bug" when the actual code is (a) perfectly usable, and (b) the objection is really that we don't give enough rope to people to hang themselves.
If you care to read RFC2646 it generally says that flowed lines MAY be rewrapped. Therefore not flowing lines shorter than $columns is as (in)correct as not flowing lines longer than the width of the display. Either way it makes format=flowed pointless.
