If it happens only on particular emails, they were probably *sent* 
without format=flowed, or they contain text that's been included from a 
source that wasn't f=f, or ... 
Balsa *shouldn't* reformat text that isn't f=f; see 
http://www.imc.org/rfc2646 for discussion. You can convert any text to 
f=f by inserting a space at the end of any line that you want to be 
interpreted as part of a paragraph to be reformatted. Perhaps Balsa 
should have a menu item for doing that to a selected block of 
text...any offers?
