Perhaps even better would be for Gnus to do what image-mode does;
I think it basically it slices the image into little strips so vertical
scrolling works much more naturally (image-mode also offers special
bindings to make horizontal scrolling work well, but I dunno how easy it
would be to offer such in Gnus).

Perhaps image-mode already offers a function to do this for embedded
images, or could be refactored to do so...
