   I feel the same way. The RFC addresses only reflowing of paragraphs, 
with or without quoting. There seems to be a consensus, not necessarily 
shared by you, me, or the author of the RFC, that more complicated 
markup should be left to html.
   Reflowing does preserve leading whitespace on a paragraph, even 
without an intervening blank line, so you can indent by hand if that's 
your style--that seems to be the most that the RFC offers.
