There are a number of `gnus-summary-...' faces that gnus uses for summary displays; perhaps you could customize them all and add `:inherit variable-pitch'. It might be convenient if gnus would have all its summary faces :inherit from a common `gnus-summary' face so that this sort of customization could be done more easily... [But I'm not sure that face-inheritance is supported in all the systems gnus wants to support...] Doing the above doesn't really preserve "tabular alignment" though -- for instance, the first few columns in a summary line are the mark characters, and if those are variable-pitch, the rest of the summary lines can be out of alignment; if gnus would somehow use a special face (which could force fixed-pitch) for those first few columns it would help, but ... that's a bigger change. -Miles -- Run away!
