But the normal Gnus mode line formatting code doesn't seem to allow stuff that's that "dynamic". It computes a string that put into `mode-line-buffer-identification'. For this to work perfectly, the "20 articles left" would be dynamically shown instead of statically computed. Putting code like that into `mode-line-format' of the article buffer would be possible, but it would be a pain to configure, wouldn't it?
