Comment:
This is how it's supposed to work.
The flowed handler will -- when you make a non-flowed reply to a flowed
message -- use `$indent_string` to indent the line. Quoted flowed lines
have no space between quote and text. Thus, we don't mangle the content
when we prepare a reply, just as we do for all other formats. I think this
shouldn't be changed. If we would mangle `> >>Foo` quote to `> >> Foo` or
the like, we'd have to do the same for replying to non-flowed messages
(which would be highly unexpected).
For display, the issue is completely different because we're free to
display the message as we want. Even if not, we only mangle it for the
local display, nobody except the local user will ever see this
modification. This includes reflowing the text, adding spaces after
quotes, etc.
Please open another ticket if we want quoting style with format=flowed
being changed, this one is only about compatibility and is fixed.
