Travis Crump sent me an email with the solution; if it does not exist
already create a textfile called user.js in your mozilla directory (the
one with everything else in it - not .mozilla itself but the subdir that
ends in .slt). Paste the following into that file:

// Format=flowed prefs, RFC 2646
user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", true);
user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);
user_pref("mail.display_struct", true);
user_pref("mail.send_struct", false);

Restart Mozilla and the problem goes away.
