Thanks, I think I see.
Still, it seems better not to change Gnus to proactively insert LRM
characters, but leave it to those users who care to customize it as
necessary. In the default value of gnus-summary-line-format,
"%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n"
the subject (%s) is followed by a newline. If a user wants to change
this to include, say, the article number, that could be done via
"%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\u200E%N\n"
This has the advantage of avoiding inserting the insertion of excess LRM
characters by default. The disadvantage, of course, is that it requires
some extra knowledge from users, but we can handle this by adding a note
to the docstring.
