I thought what we were trying to fix with
`gnus-use-correct-string-widths' was the tendency of `format' under
Emacs and XEmacs to return different lengths.

Emacs:

(length (format "%10s" "你好"))
=> 8

XEmacs:

(length (format "%10s" "你好"))
=> 10

However, there may be other subtle issues in the gnus-spec code that
introduces other problems that `gnus-use-correct-string-widths' fixes,
but my feeling is that these problems are probably bugs in Gnus in the
Emacs case...

I'll do some testing.
