The above statement shows that this individual has read one half of 
the specification and has chosen to then whine about things that he 
really doesn't understand. Text can be of Type/Plain and also have 
format:flowed without any conflict. He is as he says, a luddite that 
just doesn't like to accept the new (5 years) adoption of format 
flowed because it breaks his older standard email client.

I'd just use your < and > to produce the best wrapping possible and 
ignore the rest of their complaints. Do include the http:// as Daly 
suggested. It makes a difference.

Also note that some misconfigured email servers can break your work 
regardless of your efforts and this will be out of your control.
