I believe I fixed N=1 before, but cannot find any problem with N=4?  I
can reproduce the problem with N=2 though, and it could be worked
around by using

<#part type=message/rfc822 disposition=inline raw=t buffer=" *Original Article*">
<#/part>

although one has to be careful so the buffer isn't modified between
when you press C-c C-f and when you post the message.  So it should
create a new buffer and copy gnus-original-article-buffer there,
instead of referncing g-o-a-b directly.  Perhaps that buffer even
should be marked read-only, because if you add a some non-ASCII text
you will likely break the message, since it is not MIME encoded, which
novices might not realize (and experts know how to disable the
read-only flag).  What do you think?

I tested using <ilur80tmlcq.fsf@latte.josefsson.org> in gnus.test.
