3.1: Summary Buffer Format

  • Summary Buffer Lines You can specify how summary lines should look.
  • Summary Buffer Mode Line You can say how the mode line should look.
  • Summary Highlighting Making the summary buffer all pretty and nice.
  • Gnus will use the value of the gnus-extract-address-components variable as a function for getting the name and address parts of a From header. Two pre-defined functions exist: gnus-extract-address-components, which is the default, quite fast, and too simplistic solution; and mail-extract-address-components, which works very nicely, but is slower. The default function will return the wrong answer in 5% of the cases. If this is unacceptable to you, use the other function instead.

    gnus-summary-same-subject is a string indicating that the current article has the same subject as the previous. This string will be used with those specs that require it. The default is "".
