message-mode is the mode to write emails/newsgroup postings in, so it
has nothing to do with how articles are formatted that you're receiving.

You can wrap the current viewed article by typing `W w' in either the
summary or the article buffer.

,----[ W w ]
| W w runs the command gnus-article-fill-cited-article (found in
| gnus-summary-mode-map), which is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp
| function in `gnus-cite.el'.
| 
| It is bound to W w, <menu-bar> <Article> <Washing> <Word wrap>.
| 
| (gnus-article-fill-cited-article &optional WIDTH LONG-LINES)
| 
| Do word wrapping in the current article.
| If WIDTH (the numerical prefix), use that text width when
| filling.  If LONG-LINES, only fill sections that have lines
| longer than the frame width.
`----

However, that wrapping was performed automatically before swapping your
.newsrc-dribble and now isn't anymore is really strange.
