so to put it differently, does anyone have any reason why Gary Johnson's "stuff_all_quoted" patch should *not* be included (and, possibly even made the default)?

My only objection is that it doesn't work for me. When I reply to format-flowed emails, I get >text regardless of the setting of $stuff_all_quoted. Then again, I get that regardless of whether the message I'm replying to is format-flowed or not.

Ehrm, I spoke too soon. Here's what really happens:

Setting text_flowed causes $indent_string to be ignored. Because $indent_string is ignored, replying to NON format=flowed messages causes them to be quoted like so: >text. But because of this patch, replying to the rare emails that ARE format=flowed does work properly.

So really, my objection is that this patch introduces a behavior inconsistency when used by someone who has $text_flowed set. Without this patch, *all* replies are of the form >text when $text_flowed is set, but with it, normal emails are "broken" and only format=flowed messages are handled properly.
