Description rottenpie 2013-07-12 23:18:09 UTC

Please implement format=flowed part of rfc3676 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676 for more beautiful emails without broken replies.

A wonderful description with great pictures is here http://joeclark.org/ffaq.html

Thanks.

(I did not know where else to put suggestions)

I am also interested in the ability to compose format=flowed messages using Claws.

Currently, Claws-composed messages are painful to read on a phone.

Compose support for format=flowed messages is one of the two key missing features of claws-mail for me.

I did carefully manually-formatted 72-ish-column ASCII emails for many years, and thought it was perfect, but the popularity of smartphone email small screens (and people with various eyesight strength wanting to read emails on tablets) convinced me otherwise.  I've now been using format=flowed for a while, and it just works better overall.

I'm now totally in the format=flowed in UTF-8 camp, and I would love if a claws-mail developer were able to add this support.

Almost ten years since this suggestion. I'd really like to see it happen. Any chance of that?

Comment 4 Paul 2023-02-25 09:27:15 UTC

There's a chance of that happening if/when you or someone else submits a patch.
