I would expect the text auto-wraps to fit the terminal windows, with no 
marks indicating the break line at all.

That was a test sample I made for you to view the problem. The real 
problem is that I get that same behaviour from standard e-mails I get 
(coming from different users).

But the message indeed was set to use "format=flowed" as seen in the code 
sample I sent before.
