Ah, I missed that bit. And:
4.4. Space-Stuffing
In order to allow for unquoted lines which start with ">", and to
protect against systems which "From-munge" in-transit messages
(modifying any line which starts with "From " to ">From "),
Format=Flowed provides for space-stuffing.
Space-stuffing adds a single space to the start of any line which
needs protection when the message is generated. On reception, if the
first character of a line is a space, it is logically deleted. This
occurs after the test for a quoted line, and before the test for a
flowed line.
So `fill-flowed' is definitely doing this wrong -- it just deletes the
space stuffing before it does any of the processing, which is the
opposite of what it should do, really.
