Not to mention that:
- it would destroy indentation as it did before, unless you 
explicitly convert leading spaces, multiple spaces and tabs to 
&nbsp;

- it would create a mess of line breaks in strange places for 
some of us, who may be using lower-resolution displays or a 
large font.

But a good course of action, at least IMO, would be handle 
format=flowed messages by setting word wrap and using explicit 
<br> for the hard line breaks.

BTW I noticed a bug - it fails to replace & with &amp;.  As well 
as being just one cause of the many validation errors, it's 
bound to alter what some people wrote, including here.
