   JamNNTPd always sends wrapped text. If flowed=on, it will append a space to   
   the end of each wrapped line.   
   It's up to the client (if it supports format=flowed) to re-join those lines   
   and show it as a paragraph.   
      
   I experimented with setting WRAP_WIDTH and LINE_WIDTH to a high value, like   
   997. This way JamNNTPd works similarly to other NNTP servers that support   
   paragraphs as very long lines.   
      
   But there's a problem with quoting, as you commented. Some readers (TB,   
   Sylpheed...) will quote a long line as just one quoted long line, without   
   wrapping. And this doesn't work well with all FTN software. Some (GoldED,   
   Xpoint, WinPoint, Aftershock...) can display and re-quote those long quotes   
   just fine, but many other programs can't.
