You want it to *appear* that way.  You don't care how it's stored,
right?  So there's no problem.  Gnus could be made to display long
fields however you like; if it's a lossy conversion, then that's
something you take into consideration when deciding how you want Gnus
to display long fields.  (I'm not claiming that Gnus already supports
this configurability, just that it could be added if it's not there
already, and that (I think) it would satisfy your desire.)
