Under "What programs support f=f?" he mentions Pine but not Mutt. I use Mutt and was curious, and it turns out you can easily set f=f in Mutt. (I'm not sure yet how much good it will do me. What really matters in this case is what other people send me, and they are nearly all sending me HTML mail at this point. So it's probably a wash.) 1. In your .muttrc use the option 'set text_flowed=yes' 2. Configure your editor so that it outputs proper messages. For Vim, you add 'w' to the formatoptions for email. Note that these are two distinct steps. Mutt itself doesn't handle composing messages; your editor does.
