But I don't really want my mail to appear as single really long lines  
to people who have clients that understand flowed.. And I guess there  
have always been 2 schools of thought on mail, one being the sender  
should format it and the other being that the receiver should be  
allowed to format it how they want it to be..

I'v always been in the first camp.. Though I can see the reasons for  
the other..

Anyway I'm too tired now, but I'm going to look deeper into how this  
whole flowed thing works tomorrow!
