Or, to be more precise, let's follow these steps:

1) Compose a UTF-8 message (for example with text I submitted with 
patches): everything looks good in composer;

2) Send it to yourself

3) With version that include your newest changes, the new message we 
receive appears as wrapped, although it's flowed in reality. With 
version which includes my patch, I see that message correctly, as flowed 
without wrapped lines.

4) Then, forward that new message to yourself. In composer window, we 
have wrapped lines again, although composer intends to make flowed 
message. In my version, I see non-wrapped (flowed) lines in composer.

5) Of course, received message is the same as 3)

6) Then, reply message from 3) to yourself. Of course, in both versions 
composer shows wrapped lines, and that's ok because there's not another 
way to show reply marks ('>'s) in plain text.

7) But again, received reply is wrapped, despite 'flowed' mark in its 
header. In my version, I see quoted text on the right side of the 
vertical line as flowed.
