Ok, I was able to make it work, when sending a message, by doing:
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(auto-fill-mode -1) ;; turn off auto-fill if enabled
(setq truncate-lines nil
word-wrap t)
(use-hard-newlines)))

It is...

(use-hard-newlines) looks a relic from the past (emacs 22), when
word-wrap didn't exist and long-lines-mode was required.
Maybe some Gnus developer is reading this? Should I submit a bug/feature
request somewhere?
