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.
