I have no idea why messing with newsrc-dribble would affect this, but my
guess is you may have changed the value of one of these variables:
‘gnus-treat-fill-article’
‘gnus-treat-fill-long-lines’
Can you show us their value?
The message-mode-hook would only affect the outgoing message you
compose, not the display of received messages.
