@subsection Replying to unquoted contacts with commas in their name
Senders may have commas in their RFC2047-encoded name without using the needed
quoting, for instance @t{From: Foo, the great Bar <foo@@bar.com>} instead of
@t{From: "Foo, the great Bar" <foo@@bar.com>}.
By default, when replying to such messages, @t{mu4e} then interprets the address
as @emph{multiple} contacts. To avoid that, you can add to your configuration:

Yes. There is built-in support for composing messages in a new frame or window.

@subsection How can I apply format=flowed to my outgoing messages?
This enables receiving clients that support this feature to reflow
paragraphs. Plain text emails with @t{Content-Type: text/plain;
format=flowed} can be reflowed (i.e. line endings removed, paragraphs
refilled) by receiving clients that support this standard. Clients
that don't support this, show them as is, which means this feature is
truly non-invasive.
