I think it looks like a problem with mintty.

Yes, exactly that.  You can do that when you open the article with gnus
and then do `O f ~/the-article.txt RET'.

And also you might want to test it without emacs using

  $ less the-article.txt

and

  $ cat the-article.txt

on the command line.  If the terminal emulator has strange display
issues afterwards, then it's its fault.
