Hello:

I've been using the program "slrn" to read Usenet news, and I'm happy
with it.  But I thought I'd start using gnus just because I have it on 

my system (and I really dig XEmacs).

Anyway, I'm really liking gnus thus far, but right now I don't have it 

as colorful as slrn was.  Mainly, when I'm viewing the message
summaries of a newgroup, I want the original topic to be in one color, 

and threaded messages (i.e. the replies) to be in another.  The
staggering makes it somewhat easy to scan headers, but I'd like
different colors to more quickly differentiate between threads.
Anyone know how to accomplish this?

I did a "M-x customize-face" then hit "?" to bring up a list of
options... but the list is terribly long, and I don't know which to
choose.

By the way, I _think_ I'm using gnus 5.5, just because the FAQ says
that 5.5 is standard with XEmacs 20.4, which is what I'm using.  My
other question, then, is how do I show the gnus version?

Thanks a million!
Matt
