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.
