I think it needs a little more intelligence than that. A message that
has a Content-Transfer-Encoding of quoted-printable can be both
preformatted with linebreaks, or flowed. You could even have a mix of
both in the same message. It all depends on whether each line ends in
'=' or not.
If you go back and look at William's original message that started all
this, there's no 'flowed' tag at all, just QP-encoding.
