Subject: gnus-article-update-date-headers
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 10:10:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ei71zamq.fsf@uwo.ca> (raw)

I just upgraded, and like many others, didn't like the constantly
updating date header.  It took me a while to figure out how to slow it
down.  Suggestions:

1) The info file doesn't say what gnus-article-update-date-headers can
be set to besides nil.  It should say that it can also be a number of
seconds.  The variable's documentation also doesn't say that it is
measured in seconds.

2) After changing this variable, there is no change to the behaviour
unless you restart emacs or do something else to restart the timer.  The
variable's docs and the info file should say what to do.

3) Make the default 60 or 300.  There have been *lots* of people who
wrote to say they don't like the default, and I doubt anyone would
feel very strongly that it must be updated quickly.

Dan
