You were right.  I have discovered that one has to set mailnews.wraplength to 
get format=flowed to kick in.  I have now set my wraplength to 79 (leaving an 
extra column for the last space).  Let us hope this works ok.

In general, my principle is to put as few line breaks as possible because your 
editor can add line breaks easily wherever you want it to.  On the other hand, 
if I put too many line breaks and you want them removed, your editor won't know 
which ones to remove.

Format=flowed is a good compromise.
