What I think would be a cool addition to gnus/emacs is automatic hyphenation (AFAIK there are algorithms for that and you don't need wordlists and stuff). Word-wrapping while composing could be augmented to deal with supercalifragilistically long words. For Gnus, this helps message composition, and the display of articles. For example, pgnus treats MIMEish soft-returns ("=\n") wrong. It ignores it completely, resulting in a very long line which is displayed by emacs in the default (read: unreadable) way. These paragraphs should be wrapped to the present line-width, to be in the spirit of MIME. Even giving up and treating soft-returns as proper returns is better than the current solution.
