My terminal has a dark shade on the right-hand side so all characters past the 75th column are hard to read, so why don't you all limit your signatures to less than 75 characters? Thank you. Either that, or file a bug report with the GNUS people. It's none of the net.world's business to adapt to your particular software or hardships.
