Actually Apple Mail.app sends format=flowed wrapped to 73
characters. So a wrapped line has a single space character right
before each 'wrapping' newline. If your mail client supports
format=flowed viewing and sends without format=flowed (like AKPM's
mailer appears to), then it will properly unwrap the lines and resend
without the wrapping. Mailers which *DONT* support format=flowed
will see the wrapped version. Normally this is what you want but
it's a PITA for patches and logfiles.

I believe with Mail.app if you attach a .txt file it will be
unmangled and sent as "Content-Type: text/plain" and "Content-
Disposition: inline", so most email-clients will display it as part
of the message.
