[sup] Line wrapping and readability on mobile screens

[Dave Unger]

I've noticed that the line breaks in emails that I send from Sup look bad
on mobile devices (or at least they look terrible on the gmail android
app). The problem seems to come from a collision between the hard
line-wraps that Vim inserts and the wrapping that the android client uses
to display the message (basically the default gmail client doesn't reflow
the paragraphs).

Is there something I can do on my end to send emails that other readers
(especially those more geared toward html messages) will have an easier
time displaying? I was playing around with just setting up vim for soft
wrapping, but I don't love that solution (for vim-based reasons).

Thanks,
Dave

This could be related to format-flowed, which is not set to true in sup.

That sounds promising. Is this a feature that wasn't implemented? I tried
just adding ":format-flowed: true" to config.yaml, with no apparent effect.

No, it wasn't implemented, the PR needed some more work.
