+ <sect1>Sending <!--{{{-->
+
+ <p>If you want mutt-ng to send emails with <tt/format=flowed/ set, you
+ need to explicitly set it:
+
+ <verb>
+ set text_flowed
+ </verb>
+
+ <p>Additionally, you have to use an editor which supports writing
+ <tt/format=flowed/-conforming emails. For vim, this is done by
+ adding <tt/w/ to the formatoptions (see <tt/:h formatoptions/ and
+ <tt/:h fo-table/) when writing emails.
+
+ <p>Also note that <em/format=flowed/ knows about ``space-stuffing'',
+ that is, when sending messages, some kinds of lines have to be
+ indented with a single space on the sending side. On the receiving
+ side, the first space (if any) is removed. As a consequence and in
+ addition to the above simple setting, please keep this in mind when
+ making manual formattings within the editor. Also note that mutt-ng
+ currently violates the standard (RfC 3676) as it does not
+ space-stuff lines starting with:
+
+ <itemize>
+
+ <item><tt/>/ This is <em/not/ the quote character but a right
+ angle used for other reasons
+
+ <item><tt/From/ with a trailing space.
+
+ <item>just a space for formatting reasons
+
+ </itemize>
+
+ Please make sure that you manually prepend a space to each of them.
+
+ <!--}}}-->
+
+ <sect1>Additional Notes <!--{{{-->
+
+ <p> For completeness, the <ref id="delete_space"
+ name="$delete_space"> variable provides the mechanism
+ to generate a <tt/DelSp=yes/ parameter on <em/outgoing/ messages.
+ According to the standard, clients receiving a <tt/format=flowed/
+ messages should delete the last space of a flowed line but still
+ interpret the line as flowed. Because flowed lines usually contain
+ only one space at the end, this parameter would make the receiving
+ client concatenate the last word of the previous with the first of
+ the current line <em/without/ a space. This makes ordinary text
+ unreadable and is intended for languages rarely using spaces. So
+ please use this setting only if you're sure what you're doing.
