Replying to the message

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. All work and no play makes 
Jack a dull boy

results in

Content-Type: text/plain;
 charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The original message is displayed correctly. But when the text is added as quoted text the line breaks from the message source are retained. Ideally, we'd use the same code to extract the text for the viewing and for the composing part in K-9 Mail.

I signal a similar case. I find that some of my emails are rendered incorrectly which might be related to this. I get a test (which is not perfect but reflect something abnormal):

Reply to

Content-Language: en-US

A line extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely 
extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely long long 
long long long long long long long long long long long long long long 
long long long.

See above

will give

Content-Type: text/plain;
 charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
