Here is how you do it.

With this, save the window configuration with `C-x m',
and store it with `C-x l'. When you show an article
from the *Summary* buffer, it'll save automatically so
you just have to restore it when you are done reading
articles. Unless you load it, it doesn't save again.

(defvar *do-save-new* t)

(defun save-win-conf ()
  (interactive)
  (when *do-save-new*
    (window-configuration-to-register ?0) ))

(defun load-win-conf ()
  (interactive)
  (setq *do-save-new* t)
  (jump-to-register ?0) )

(global-set-key "\C-xm" 'save-win-conf)
(global-set-key "\C-xl" 'load-win-conf)

(defun gnus-summary-show-article-save-win-conf ()
  (interactive)
  (save-win-conf)
  (setq *do-save-new* nil)
  (call-interactively 'gnus-summary-show-article) )
