Its value is "%U%R%z%I%(%t %3{%~(cut-left 2)~(max-right 6)~(pad 6)o%}%3L|%us|%-14,14f%= )%3{%un%}:%s\n" Original value was <---**** P.S., extra blank here **** "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n" ...The %U (status), %R (replied) and %z (zcore) specs have to be handled with care. For reasons of efficiency, Gnus will compute what column these characters will end up in, and "hard-code" that. This means that it is invalid to have these specs after a variable-length spec. Well, you might not be arrested, but your summary buffer will look strange, which is bad enough. Forget it. I give up trying to understand all this. All I know is with what I have now, things aren't lining up. 1 110707 19|2.1|Zoe :Signup Complete 1 110714 6|4.4|
