It would apply to either; format=flowed can be wrapped at the receiver's end, but still be formatted to a particular column for readers that don't understand format=flowed. (Which is likely to be many, since that's a standard that never really took off.) No wrap netiquette applies to formatted text blocks which are unreadable if wrapped (such as bonnie or EXPLAIN output). Mike Stone
