While Lars is hacking at gnus, I would like to suggest adding this
code which I found in gnu.emacs.sources. I have been using it from my
.gnus and have been very happy with it. ;^)

Hi,

this is just a micro addition to the keybindings. It enables you to
browse threads in Gnus with the cursor keys in a IMHO very intuitive
way. 

;; Set some easier keybindings to make browsing more intuitive

(defun my-gnus-summary-show-thread ()
  "Show thread without changing cursor positon."
  (interactive)
  (gnus-summary-show-thread)
  (beginning-of-line)
  (forward-char 1))

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map [(right)] 'my-gnus-summary-show-thread)
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map [(left)]  'gnus-summary-hide-thread)

(setq gnus-thread-hide-subtree t)

;; EOF ;;

And similar code for topics:

Taking my lead from Ingo's threading code, I made some for topic mode:

(defun my-gnus-topic-show-topic ()
  "Show the hidden topic."
  (interactive)
  (if (gnus-group-topic-p)
      (gnus-topic-show-topic)
    (gnus-topic-read-group)))

(add-hook 
 'gnus-started-hook
 '(lambda ()
    (define-key gnus-topic-mode-map [(right)] 'my-gnus-topic-show-topic)
    (define-key gnus-topic-mode-map [(left)]  'gnus-topic-hide-topic)
    ))

Hm.  Well, I don't think this is something that most people would
appreciate.  :-)

IMHO those keys are hardly of any use in the summary buffer, and
assigning them that function would be intuitive, but at the worst
harmless.

I use the arrow keys in all kinds of buffers, and I loathe modes that
alter them to be "intuitive".  Like the completion buffers, dired,
etc.  What if you want to kill'n'yank stuff from the buffers?

Rebinding the arrow keys is evil.

You're probably right. I usually use C-n, C-p and friends for buffer
navigation, so I have little other use to the arrow keys.
