Re-formatting email line breaks

I’m trying to re-flow email messages, removing the line breaks that
get added by mail programs so that the lines don’t exceed 72 characters.

Mail.app and Thunderbird seem to insert a space character before each
added line break.
Outlook replaces new lines in the email with double \n’s, then uses
single \n’s for the ‘soft’ line breaks.

Can anyone confirm this / point me to some specification / point out
any other client behaviour I need to handle?

Thanks for any help,
Jon
