Well, Gnus has variables which you can set to achieve some effect, for example `gnus-summary-mode-line-format'. You can set this to have Gnus use a different mode line everywhere. You can also set it's local value in a specific summary buffer, to get a different mode line there only. One way to do this is by adding `(gnus-summary-mode-line-format "blah")' to the group parameters. "Real" group paramaters, like `to-address', are not variables. You can't query their value by simply evaluating them. But they are consulted when particular things happen (`to-address' is used by `gnus-summary-post-news' for example). To differentiate variables and parameters in the group parameter list, real parameters have a dot between their name and value.
