[patch] bug in timestamp example in gnus-3

[Patric Mueller]

Hi

The example for the user defined date format doesn't work. 
There's a typo (%ud not %Ud) and then it doesn't work as expected.

If the group has never been assigned a timestamp instead of nothing,
time will be nil and format-time-string then takes the current time. 

This little patch should fix that. 

Bye
Patric

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to Oort Gnus v0.05 (i. e., CVS).
