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).
