After reading the sources, I was able to achieve flowed zenity 
with the following:

(setq fill-flowed-display-column nil)  (add-hook 
'message-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-off-auto-fill) (setq 
truncate-lines nil) (use-hard-newlines)))  (add-hook 
'gnus-article-mode-hook (lambda () (setq truncate-lines nil)))  My 
only complaint is that `use-hard-newlines' shouldn't be necessary.
Any line longer than `fill-flowed-encode-column' should trigger a 
format=flowed message automatically instead of generating a 
warning.
