Cool, that was my hope! I didn't even know that an RFC existed for that
case.
I still see one minor glitch with the renderer: signature dashes (like
below) are two hyphens with a single space on a single line. This line
seems to be joined with the following line if the text format is flowed.
I don't think this is a problem with the sender because I see the same with
flowed mails from other clients.
