Yes.

Attached is a screen shot provided by David Kastrup.  It's not
perfect, as you can see -- the additional empty lines and superfluous
line breaks might be a problem in the other mailing program, I don't
know, but it is far better than what mew currently offers.

Good question.  I think it should be composed recursively, this is,
start with the deepest level, then wrap the whole thing into a box
having the current display's width, then continue with the next level,
and so on.  But maybe this is far too complicated.

I trust that you find a solution :-)
