I'm having big problems in reading emails and news posts in gnus in that
everything is showing with *all* of their headings, like this one -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
X-From-Line: root@london Sun Aug 31 12:00:26 2014

I've looked back through the archives from this year but can't find a
solution. So, how do I get it just to have normal, sensible headers like
"From, Subject, To, Date" please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Have you perhaps customized either of gnus-ignored-headers or gnus-show-all-headers away from their defaults?

When I've run into things like this I run emacs -q then open my .emacs and manually eval just enough to set up the basic gnus connectivity (servers and not much else) and see if it works the way I expect with default settings.  Then it's a matter of eval'ing my customizations until I find the one I've messed up.

Thanks for this Dave, I've ended up building a new '.gnus.el' which more
or less works. It has this line in it -
╭────
│(setq gnus-visible-headers "^From:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\|^Reply-to:\\|^To:")
╰────

which only works if I toggle it with "t" whilst somewhere in the header
or summary pane. But how do I make it appear "true" for each and every
email, rss post and newsgroup post please? I copied it from
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Hiding-Headers.html
and just expanded it to fit my needs.

I only see that happen if I set gnus-show-all-headers to t.  Perhaps you have that set somewhere?

Nope, not in gnus.el, nor in custom.el, and neither in init.el. But as I
said in my post entitled "gnus uses a cache?" this is one of the
problems that sorts itself out! Meaning, it is no longer a problem as
its working OK.

Thanks
Sharon.
