I understand this. However, what Tommi and I are discussing is that
jamnntpd/smapinntpd is not doing this properly. I'm not sure 'WRAP_WIDTH 72'
is very constant, as I see wrapping all over the place between 72-79
characters (which sometimes even wraps a word to the next line and doesn't
include a quote character before it). So either the 'WRAP_WIDTH 72' and
'LINE_WIDTH 79' settings are messing with each other, or they're not
implemented properly.

So, in my questions to Tommi, I'm more or less asking if anyone has actually
figured out what WRAP_WIDTH is actually doing. It is only checked for once in
the code, and so is LINE_WIDTH. Neither of them are checked for in the
format=flowed section. It almost seems like the format=flowed section was an
afterthought, and was added in after what it was already doing. *shrug*

Regards,
Nick
