There are these settings in nntpserv.c:

#define WRAP_WIDTH 72
#define LINE_WIDTH 79
#define MAX_WIDTH 997

I tried to increase WRAP_WIDTH and LINE_WIDTH to something like 990
once. It helped with quoting utf-8 lines, but for some reason I went
back to originals.

Anyway, the safest setting to avoid utf-8 quoting crap is to use "flowed
off".
