Almost everyone agrees with that I think. The issue for most is the animation
not being on. There are also methods documented/wikied on how to do that using
the summary format functions. e.g I adopted the one which says "today"
"yesterday" etc in the left of the summary line.
(setq gnus-user-date-format-alist
;; Format the date so we can see today/tomorrow quickly.
;; See http://emacs.wordpress.com/category/gnus/ for the original.
'(
((gnus-seconds-today) . "Today, %H:%M")
((+ 86400 (gnus-seconds-today)) . "Yesterday, %H:%M")
(604800 . "%A %H:%M") ;;that's one week
((gnus-seconds-month) . "%A %d")
((gnus-seconds-year) . "%B %d")
(t . "%B %d '%y"))) ;;this one is used when no other does match
Cheers
