I tried and couldn’t reproduce the problem using “emacs -q”, so
lacking
other tools I turned to bisecting my ~/.emacs. It turned out that
the
problem is triggered by me setting fill-column to
most-positive-fixnum
in gnus-article-mode-hook.
“shr” seems to allocate buffers that are proportional to
fill-column.
I set fill-column to infinity in a function that also enables
visual-line-mode, adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode and
variable-pitch-mode.
This allows to use “W w” (gnus-article-fill-cited-article) to wash
away
hard line breaks from an article so that the text reflows
nicely. (I
happen to like this – consider how œ and æ look with a fixed-width
font.)
