I've given up on format=flowed because if you are not really careful to insert hard newlines, it can break inline attachments. In fact, hardcore users of plain text email like LKML discourage it for this reason.
That said, it's nice to see a new text-oriented mail client. I remain skeptical about Unix interactive text-mode applications, though. Unlike classical Unix tools, more complex interactive applications do not compose well. They are little silos.
I was a long term Mutt user, but I eventually moved my email into Emacs. That was because Emacs applications feel part of a consistent environment, a text-mode Lisp VM. They can easily talk to each other, and you can extend them beyond their designers ideas.
On Mutt on the other hand, any non-trivial extension was just a pile of hacks. For example, multiple accounts.
I encourage HN users to take a look at Notmuch, both as a MUA inside Emacs or elsewhere, it has a really nice architecture. It's kind of a side-effect free mail user agent.
