Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set line wrap at some arbitrary number of characters 2. Compose an e-mail with more than that number of characters. 3. Insert a pair of structured word markers so that one is before and one is after the wrap point. 4. Send the message to yourself. 5. Open the message when you receive it. Actual Results: Upon receiving the message, you will see that the phrase within the structured word markers is not rendered in the appropriate font style. Expected Results: The phrase within the structured word markers should be rendered in the appropriate font style; for example, the phrase *Lorem ipsum[wrap point]dolor sit amet* should be rendered in bold. If the sender's wrap point is sufficiently long, say 1000 characters, then phrases within structured word markers will render correctly in the received e-mail. However, this makes it difficult to compose e-mail.
This can be extra confusing when f=f is brought into the mix: a structured phrase that appears on one line in the source is shown with formatting even if reflowed to span a line break, while a structured phrase split over two lines can reflow to appear within a single line and yet remains unformatted.
