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)

Dear Proton,
You know what seems to be happening? You've been neglecting basic functionality for people who have supported you right from the start -- technically-savvy people that use email a lot.
Posteo has this feature. It also has end-to-end encryption. And it also costs less. It does not have all the other services Proton provides, but it does provide a decent email service -- its purpose.
I used Posteo in the past and took an interest in your project and mission statement. I never would have though you were thinking about leaving such critical features unimplemented for years without so much as a plan.I find myself more and more disappointed on your roadmap; I feel largely unheard by your support / dev teams.
I would understand it if we were talking about niche features, but we're not: format=flowed is very important for developers (many tools expect it, like the already mentioned `git-send-email`).Just do the right thing, please. Don't become like other companies we've already tried to escape from.

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.
