PSA, as I figured this out.
It turns out that gnus-treat-fill-long-lines was set to (typep
"text/plain"), which meant that I cannot trust what I see in my MUA
as an exact copy of the patch the sender intended to give me.
Here is what "Describe variable" gave me (after I fixed it, that is).
---
gnus-treat-fill-long-lines's value is nil
Original value was
(typep "text/plain")
Documentation:
Fill long lines.
Valid values are nil, t, `head', `first', `last', an integer or a
predicate. See Info node `(gnus)Customizing Articles'.
You can customize this variable.
This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
version 24.1 of Emacs.
