thanks ... reading up about it shows development from around 2005 or
earlier by Qualcomm Eudora for cell-phone usage due to tiny displays
not good for ascii-art
their response:
Sometimes we do things with ASCII text that get munged up by reformatting,
like using ^^^ under a word to emphasize it. f=f can undo that work.
On the other hand, almost no one reads mail with the monospaced font
necessary to understand that kind of ASCII markup - no one with
an f=f-compatible mailer, anyway.
