Oh, I finally found how to tune Mozilla and fix it:

One need to edit defaults/pref/mailnews.js file to have:
pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false); // RFC 2646===pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);

This makes Mozilla to send emails w/o "format=flowed".

Thanks a lot for your patience :)
