This jibes with my experience.  Apparently, I even put the following
in my .gnus lo those many moons ago...

  ;;; filladapt can screw up the word-wrapping for articles.
  (add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook 'turn-off-filladapt-mode)

However, filladapt works wonderfully for me when I'm dealing with
sending messages and want to fill cited paragraphs.  Between the
default word wrapping for `W w', and filladapt for message-mode, I
haven't had any complaints.
