    gnus-article-fill-long-lines is an interactive Lisp function in
    ‘gnus-art.el’.

    (gnus-article-fill-long-lines &optional INTERACTIVE &rest ARGS)

    Fill lines that are wider than the window width.

Well it does more than just that. Take this article for instance:

SAN FRANCISCO -- Bob Wachter, the chairman of the department of medicine
at the University of California, San Francisco, has had a front-row seat
to the coronavirus pandemic.

Dr. Wachter's job, at least in part, is to keep the department's 3,000 or so faculty, trainees and staff current on developments in research, education and clinical care. But most days he sets aside at least two hours to keep another group informed: his Twitter followers.

So why is it also acting on other lines?
Also C-u (INTERACTIVE) does nothing, as one sees in the code.

Anyway, https://www.jidanni.org/comp/configuration/ is what I use.

Yes, it also respects the `fill-column' variable.  I've now fixed the
doc string in Emacs 28.

I'm not sure what `C-u' should do for that command?  It doesn't say that
it's doing anything...
