Wrapping and variable⋅width glyphs are the default so,
to get the indenting right, and to not wrap long lines,
the PRE tag (HTML) is the best way to display source code.

This is true for any forum/email⋅list, not just Usenet.

HTML won't change the colors I see, I override it ( to light on black );
but it can make one see flowing/wrapping text, with BR tags.

Also, (A) tags are nice, you can say, <A hRef="http://Jeff-Relf.Me/Wrap_HTML.EXE">Right-Click Here, Save As...</A>.
Then there's IMG tags, etc.                                          

PRE tags are the main thing, of course, so my posts look as intended
on Google Groups.  Google Groups is the most popular Usenet client/server,
but Thunderbird and Outlook are also popular, and they display HTML.

Any newsreader worth its salt would convert the HTML to plain⋅text
instead of launching an HTML viewer ( like FireFox or Lynx ).
