Gnus tries to avoid long lines, and in the example you showed the
Subject line would have been longer than 70 (or was it 72, or 78?)
characters without the breaking.

I think that MUAs are supposed to remove the leading whitespace from
continuation lines.  Or are they supposed to replace that with a
single space?  I'm not sure.
