This extract from muttrc(5) explains it:

  The option only controls newly composed messages.  Postponed messages, 
  resent messages, and draft messages (via -H on the command line) will 
  use the content-type of the source message.

I'm using gmane.io NNTP server to view Gentoo mailing lists but it's 
just a mirror, so I have to reply by mail. The draft net-nntp/tin 
creates does not use "format=flowed" and mutt doesn't change it.
