Proper support for Format=flowed
Proton is particularly bad at supporting plain text email. There’s no support for format=flowed in the interface but, even worse : any mail sent through Proton SMTP will see its format=flowed header removed.
This was a bug highly discussed in the Bridge Github ticketing system before it was sent offline.
Please allow people to use Proton and the Bridge through plaintext (Mutt, Emacs, Alpine are widely used amongst the privacy geeks crowd)

Frankly, I'm on the fence about renewing my Proton account this summer. Supporting this feature will go a long way toward convincing me to continue paying for Proton Mail. I hate to use a passive-aggressive threat like this, but it's just the truth.

This bug might also be why protonmail is heavily disregarded by developers using git-send-email
see https://git-send-email.io/#step-2
Indeed, the break of "format=flowed" might cause a patch to become invalid.

I did not even check if this migbt break gnupg signed plaintext emails. I've seen that happen already elsewhere.
