the fringe is a region to the left and right of the buffer text that is
used to indicate things like start and end of file, lines that wrap, and
other miscellaneous things (such as marks in evil-mode).  Gnus uses
these in the summary window to show you which is the current article.
Can be quite useful (it is for me, in any case).

Probably best to customise the face and make it simply inherit from the
default face instead of removing it completely.
