Add the line

set editor_command "emacs  +%d '%s'"

in your ~/.slrnrc, replacing any existing "set editor_command" line
already there.

You need to tell emacs that you want auto-fill turned on when editing
buffers spawned by slrn.  Probably the simplest way in this instance is
to add the lisp function invocation to the above line, so it becomes

set editor_command "emacs -f turn-on-auto-fill  +%d '%s'"

If you need something a little better, there's a very nice piece of
elisp designed specifically for integrating Emacs with slrn, called
post-mode.  This is available as a Debian package, called
"post-el". Full instructions for installing it are included in the
package.

Before I started using Gnus, I used slrn with Emacs and post-mode, and
it worked pretty well.

Don't tell me that worry doesn't do any good.  I know better.  The things
I worry about don't happen.
