Good to hear. Do you want a format-patch of the final version?

That's strange and I can't reproduce this. Also I can't find code which
would explain this in repl and the default configuration. Maybe in the
convert interface of mhbuild?

No, fold() should not change the body of the field. Depending on the
context multible white space characters might have a meaning or are used
to increase readability without a MUA.
