This box design is a nuisance to me; I don't want to have to teach
emacs how to fill a boxed paragraph in gnus; M-q fills paragraphs
beginning with most quoting characters (>, !, |, etc.) correctly but
not boxed ones. In Google Groups, boxed paragraphs are ugly when in
proportional font.

That's your fault. How many different names or spellings thereof do
you post under? Just in the past 24 hours I've seen variations like:

Colin Paul Gloster
Nicolas C=F3ilin Paul Gloucester
Nicolas Collin Paul de Gloucester
Nicolas C=F3ilin Paul de Gloucester
Nicholas C=F3ilin Paul de Gloucester

So, is your name really a regexp? Is this one in extended syntax
correct?
(Nich?olas)|(C[=F3o]l?lin) Paul (de)? Glo(uce)?ster

How about just "Paul" which seems to be the only constant?
