As expected. SBBS's NNTP server does not use format=flowed.
So does that mean the NNTP server Tommi is using also does not use
f=f?
I've also been looking through as many FAQs as I can find on inn (InterNetNews) which is/was/might+still+be a very popular news server,
and don't see much of anything mentioned about format=flowed at all.
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.
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.
