+RfC 3676 defining format=flowed
+===============================
+
+Muttng currently lacks correct dealing with quote prefixes in some
+cases, i.e. when converting from format=fixed to format=flowed. One
+problem is that $quote_regexp only specifies the complete quote sequence
+instead of just one level. Second, quoting characters seen in the wild
+like '|' or '#' are part of the default $quote_regexp but may also be
+used to mark certain things like writing about examples or the like in
+messages. Muttng does not do any guessing so that it's up to the user to
+ensure correct quoting.
+
+Altough the standard enforces space-stuffing as a MUST, muttng
+currently violates it. Space-stuffing is done _once_ after initially
+editing the message. The routine only handles '^From ' and '^ ' cases,
+'^>' is ignored. (Once because an already space-stuffed line still has
+a leading space so that it would get space-stuffed everytime the user
+edits a message.)
