I think I've found a partial solution. This may be of interest to
Gnus users, but there is no C content.
Bart's articles have "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8;
format=flowed". It seems that Gnus has problems with
"format=flowed".
As a workaround, I'm adding this line to my .emacs :
(setq fill-column 100)
The default value is 70, which causes Gnus to display flowed text
with line wrapping at 70 columns -- and worse, that wrapping is
propagated when I quote such text in a followup.
I think the interaction between "format=flowed" and hard line
breaks is tricky. With this change on my end, I *think* that any
reasonably formatted text will not be inappropriately line-wrapped.
If there are any replies to this, please consider moving the
discussion to gnu.emacs.gnus (I haven't posted there).
