   As far as I understand, standard NNTP servers do not generate the Content-type   
   header (where "format=flowed" is specified), but it's stored in the messages   
   themselves. If a client posted a message with f=f, that message will have it   
   when received by any newsreader.   
      
   Smapi/JamNNTPd and Synchronet insert the Content-type header when exporting   
   from their JAM/SMB/... messagebase and sending to the client. The former adds   
   the f=f part there.   
      
    NB> Seems to me f=f is/was more of an email thing.   
      
   Mainly, I suppose, but it's used by TB and Seamonkey for both mail and news.
