I only have nnml groups but haven't been able to get this working.

Can you supply an example of the necessary var settings and the code
that would be appropriate in group params.  Maybe even replete with
some of the good Lars humor.

I've requested examples both here and on gnu.emacs.gnus.  As have a
number of other people.  None have been forthcoming, making me think
there aren't many people, possibly none using this feature.

A few posters responded with messages saying this feature doesn't work
for them.

You've carefully provided many examples of various functions
throughout gnus info.  This seems like a good candidtate for a few
simple examples too.
