After checking, it seems like Mail.app stopped emitting format=flowed around 10.6.3, and $REALJOB requirements mean I'm stuck using it as I need to deal with localized text from many languages frequently.

Well, source code, diffs, and such could be attached as MIME enclosures, which will insulate them from quote-based reformatting. Unfortunately, unless one is careful with the content-types used, the FreeBSD mailing list software might decide to strip them.... Regards, -- -Chuck [1]: Mozilla's Thunderbird does fine for the Latin-1 families & UTF-8 encodings, but it doesn't handle UTF-16 text or attachments (ja-JP / ISO-2022-JP or zh-CN & zh-TW in Big5 or GBK) correctly.
