It's also possible you just never noticed, because as long as your current
screen width can keep it on that line, it will. I've also seen this in all
three of the newsreaders I use here.

Another thing I noticed while visiting the tin newsgroup.. _none_ of the posts
I saw, including the ones that actually fit my entire screen width, were
labeled with 'Content-Type: format=flowed'. I think Tommi mentioned this with
his other nntp server also.

I'm almost wondering if we don't get rid of the 'flowed' option completely,
and let the client newsreaders decide what they want and can do. It may take
quite a bit more work than just that, but.. it's an idea.

Regards,
Nick

... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
