I think the idea of encoding text so that quoted text can be displayed properly on various types of devices is important -- maybe even more important now with all the large monitors and tiny devices we read on. The problem, though, is that doing so in a tool like mutt where the editor is (by design) completely divorced from the MUA does make it a lot more difficult to properly generate flowed text. w
