Thank you. Using M-q is working but maybe now I'm making confusion of
few things possibly because of aioe.org, quoted printable and other
factors. Quoting the line from the example above (testing in fr.test
btw) it goes yet to a new line. Is it because of quoted-printable?
Lookin at the message the non ascii accented vowels I'm quoting are
transformed like "=C3=A9". Seems like gnus reformat counting the chars
and not those representations, am I wrong? Shoud I disable
quoted-printable anyway?

Oh ok, but I've to enter the sequence when looking at the article body
right? I'll try again then.
