devices) and here's the RFC with all the details:
@url{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt}.
To add this to outgoing mu4e emails, activate @t{use-hard-newlines} and
use only @t{M-q} or @t{fill-paragraph} for your paragraphs, Emacs
indicates intra-paragraph breaks with soft newlines and inter-paragraph
breaks with hard newlines. When the Gnus code sees these on outgoing
emails, it automatically sets @t{format=flowed}.
Since version 0.9.17, @t{mu4e} send emails with @t{format=flowed} by
default. The transformation of your message into the proper format is
done at the time of sending. In order to happen properly, you should
write each paragraph of your message of as a long line (i.e. without
carriage return). If you introduce unwanted newlines in your paragraph,
use @kbd{M-q} to reformat it as a single line.
To enable this, you can use something like this in your init.el:
If you want to send the message with long lines but without
@t{format=flowed} (because, say, the receiver does not understand it as
it is the case for Google or Github), use @kbd{M-x use-hard-newlines} or
uncheck the box @t{format=flowed} in the @t{Text} menu when composing a
message.
