I find Format Flowed one of the nicest features of Eudora, but...
different people, different tastes.

There are a few caveats when it is disabled:

The removing of the Excerpt Bar may not work when there is html in the
message and then you have to remove the formatting first.

It will also no longer be possible to only quote the highlighted text
when replying.

Though I may see that when composing, my outgoing messages,
when sent in plain text and "wrapped" (an editing feature)
contain only the ">".

"Format=Flowed," by the way, was an innovation of Qualcomm itself,
which wrote the specs: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2646

You will still find Randall Gellens' ("You call that an OS?") name
under the "Engineering" section of the "credits" in Eudora 7.1
("Help" > "About Eudora" > "Credits")

Press a "Shift" key to scroll credits faster,
or a "Ctrl" key to see "Easter eggs"

I used it extensively in 80s (it started in late 70s) on CP/M.

Have used plenty of excellent text editors since then
(including "vi[m]" and "EditPad" and Eudora's internal editor --
other people like Emacs, etc.) and the field can hardly help but expand,
given the creativity and access of so many to computers of all sorts,
and the vast expansion of software, in all directions.

All of them have something that others don't, just like people,
and I've never felt "enslaved" by any of them.

Well, back to Sleepy Hollow for me :)

For those who have Word, but miss WordStar:

"WordStar Command Emulator for Microsoft Word"
http://www.wordstar.org/

Never used it myself (I don't even use MS Word or MS Office :)
