Hi,

Is anybody using proportional fonts with Gnus?  That is, except me?  I
really like the look of a message in Times-Roman, with a somewhat long
line length, but I have a few problems.

I put 'gnus-article-fill-cited-article into the
gnus-article-display-hook (I think it is).  This seems to work ok, but I
have to, I think, set fill-column to some number of characters, which
means the message will jag a lot on the right side, and with lines with
lots of caps or m's the line will wrap.  Ugly.  Fix?

Also, gnus-article-fill-cited-article is not intelligent enough when it
comes to recognizing tables, lists, and the like.  Some simple rules
could surely be added to adress this?  Though I assume tables will be
broken anyway, given the use of spaces - unless, of course, that part of
the article could be displayed in a fixed font.  Same for signature.  Possible?

Last, there's the summary buffer.  Given large differences between with
of spaces, pluses, minuses, and Es, Os, etc, the indentation of articles
is close to useless.  Perhaps the best thing would be to use some fixed
font in this buffer - is that at all possible? 

I use Xemacs, for the moment, but I'll change to GNU any day for the
above improvements.  Comments?  Suggestions?
