I see this with many (perhaps all) posts from gmail.com addresses
displayed in Gnus as HTML; if I switch (by typing `b') to the non-HTML
alternative, the display is fine.  The HTML contains lots of div tags
with class attributes with values like "gmail_extra" that I guess shr
doesn't grok.  I only started noticing this odd display fairly recently
(I can't say more precisely, could be several weeks or longer); I don't
know if something changed in shr, in gmail or elsewhere.
