Agreed.  Miles' code included:

 (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook
  (lambda () (local-set-key "v" 'gnus-article-variable-pitch-mode)))

I've been using it for a while now (with DejaVu Mono as the fixed font
and DejaVu Serif as the variable-pitch font).  Very cool indeed.

I'd live to see a variable pitch mode for the Summary and Group buffers,
too, using something other than spaces to place the columnar data.  I
don't know whether Emacs has the necessary support for that yet, though.

Variable-pitch-mode also works well in message buffers.
