<sheepish look>OK, so it was my mail client</sheepish look>. So is the
format=flowed part of the rfc822 spec? I'm beginning to think you guys
read the RFC's for fun.

Running from the command-line, I indeed get the same output with extra
long lines. So what's the liklihood that an email client would not
support rfc822 and format=flowed? The <pre> wrap, albeit a shortcut,
looks like it could still be viable quick way to use XML email as if it
were a plain text file. Heck, we could even add an option to have P::M
wrap text inside of pre tags for that matter. Of course, I image all of
these suggestions probably abuse XML in ways that make purists cringe.

Thanks,
William
