I use a kinda complicated gnus-buffer-configuration (see bottom) which
gives me both horizontal and vertical window splits. The rendering of
text/html segments appears to be determining line width on the basis
of (frame-width), which is large, rather than (window-width), which is
much smaller. The result is a really horridly ugly line-wrapped
display of text/html.
I don't really know if this is a Gnus or W3 issue, but I thought I'd
mention it, since the relevant authors are both accessible here.
A quick look through the w3 sources only finds frame-width uses in
css.el, devices.el, and url.el. Hm, odd. Any ideas on fixing this?
Screenshots of mis-behavior can be found in

I think it's probably a w3 bug, since Gnus just calls `w3-region'.
Er. But it doesn't call that from the buffer that it's actually
displayed in. It does a `with-temp-buffer' and reders the thing there
before copying over. Could that be a source of the problem?

gnus could let-bind w3-strict-width to the appropriate width before
calling w3-region.

Perhaps. The important fact is that whatever function is in charge of
geometry of rendering has to know the size of the actual *Article*
buffer where the result is destined to land. This might be
complicated by the fact that *Article* may not even exist yet when
rendering is begun. I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss just now to
find in w3/*.el exactly how the (currently wrong) choice is being made.

Yup. Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.43.
