how to generate the summary when gnus-summary-line-format is changed

how to generate the summary when gnus-summary-line-format is changed

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

In mozilla (thunderbird) it is possible to change the format of a
summary interactively. I can't see how to do this in gnus. It seems I
have to leave and to reenter the group, after I changed this variable
for the group. I tried varios gnus regenerate functions (which seem to
act on the agent rather.)


So is there such a possibility?

Thanks

Have you tried M-g to update the summary buffer ?

No, now I did but it does not work.
More in detail, in that summary I fire up the function.

(defun my-set-line-format-spam ()
  (interactive)
  (message "Now the spam line setting is on")
  (set-variable 'gnus-summary-line-format "%N%z%I%(%A %)  %s\n"))

Indeed describe variable returns

`gnus-summary-line-format' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "gnus"

Value: "%N%z%I%(%A %)  %s\n"


So tried M-g but no change in the summary buffer!!!
