Additionally, some messages contain sections that should never be soft-wrapped, such as diffs. I'm uncertain whether many MUAs offer a smooth user interface to designate which paragraphs should be hard-wrapped. At least Gnus (message.el) does not.

An inline-diff will not be wrapped unless any of the lines ends with a space character. Of course, sometimes, they will; in which case, for that email, the user should either not use format=flowed, or attach the diff instead. Evidently this is not ideal. I hazard that inline-diffs is a special-case rather than a general-case of email, these days.
