I did some research between Jamnntpd and a "real" nntp server, like this
WendzelNNTPd, which I'm writing now from.

Jamnntpd with "flowed on": Flowed text in TB does not work ok when
resizing window.

WendzelNNTPd : Flowed text work ok when resizing window.

However, in this server the Content-Type line has no "format=" part at all:

   Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

So, IMHO the "hard wrap" setting WRAP_WIDTH 72 is not working as it
should with "flowed on". I think Jamnntpd should adjust the WRAP_WIDTH
setting according to the "flowed" setting and not wrap lines with
"flowed on".
