I recently took a look at this and found the following:
http://joeclark.org/ffaq.html (from
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1438136 )

So, summarizing, Apple Mail uses format=flowed (unchangeable it seems)

wondering which ones do not.  Thor: which client are you using that
doesn't respect this?)
