[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)
