Better named Format=Flawed given the headaches it causes with signing and
verification. It allows text to automatically adjust to the width of
different display devices, ie. monitor versus PDA.

Actually it's a hidden Mozilla option
(mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support).

Enigmail just lets you disable the troubled maker.
The Enigmail options all start with "extensions.enigmail". You can see all
the Mozilla options by entering "about:config" as the URL. Defaults are
innormal text. User overrides are in *bold*.

There's a great NS/Mozilla tweaking site at
http://www.holgermetzger.de/etips6.html. This one from the Mail-News section:

	#4: How can I have the classic ">" back instead of the
	vertical bar?

	Add the following lines to your user.js:

	user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false);
	user_pref("mail.quoteasblock", false);
	user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);

	The third line disables format=flowed and is necessary to
	completely disable it. Without it, format=flowed messages
	would still have the vertical bar.

user.js is an ordinary text file in your Mozilla profile directory.

We now return this channel to it's normal programming.
