From rjsparks@nostrum.com:

I agree with a first step of getting closer to where we were.

That said, prior to conversion, the reflow mechanics, particularly when
preparing email, have been consistently in my way. Can we move to something
that performs reflow by default, but allows us to turn it off and provide
our own formatting when it's the best way to get the information across?

That should be possible, but may move the re-flowing operation from
entry to presentation, where I believe we have it now, in order to not
mess with what's entered into the database.

Can you give me some examples of where reflowing is messing things up?

If re-flowing is only applied for very long lines and on presentation,
then anything you enter with proper formatting should be left alone.
I'll check the code to see if this is the way it's being handled now.

Prior to the conversion, an AD entering text in the discuss or
comment box had greater control over the formatting. The new form
seems to trim whitespace from the front of the provided text.

Ok; we should check whether this is done on entry or at presentation
time -- do you have an example to look at?

I have a fix that addresses the Russ's bug. We should probably open another one for the reformatting problem based on the discussion in

Fixed in 7747e3a:

Only trim ballot discusses/comments on the right side, not the left, since some ADs are using the left-side for formatting, fixes #781.
