My mails from mutt are primarily to mailing lists. So no, I don't use flowed text. But also, I don't set the line length to 80 columns - that's far too much for lists with multiple levels of quoting in replies - my vimrc says 68, but 70 is probably ok. But I have no idea what line lengths are common on phones (I assume screens providing less than 80 columns of text are phones) - if you are mostly mailing to people with small screens then I have no idea: my own phone tends to get html mail, so all bets about formatting are off ;-) ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods
