[Mutt] #3001: format=flowed interoperability



#3001: format=flowed interoperability

 mutt's handling of format=flowed is non-optimal, and as I believe
 not compliant with RFC 3676.

 * when creating a format=flowed reply from a format=fixed
   message, the quoted text must be converted to fixed text
   by removing trailing spaces
 * once this is done the hack which forces indent_string=">"
   in format=fixed replies to format=flowed mails becomes
   unneccessary (and it only improves interoperability between
   mutt with $text_flowed=yes and $text_flowed=no, but not
   between mutt and plain old MUAs like mailx)
