A user on gnu.emacs.gnus asked how to make the Gnus summary buffer
look like xnews, and Jesper Harder came up with a solution.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a section in the manual listing various
settings to have the Gnus summary buffer ape other newsreaders?

Post the examples to this thread, and I'll collect them and put them
in the manual.  Include sample output from the settings.

Here's Jesper Harder's example:

> > Subject                  Lines    From     Date   Score
> >   ...                    Lines    From     Date   Score
> >   ...                    Lines    From     Date   Score
> >
> > -subject as the first item, 
> > -an indention of e.g. 3 for every quote level,
> > -cut the subject after X characters, so the following colums are fixed
> > -if the Subject is the same as the subject of the father or it's            
> >     "Re:Subject of the father" then display ... instead of it

> Here is something that's reasonably close to the way XNews displays it:

> (setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R %>%(%-45,45s%)%<%4L  %-25,25f  %d  %i \n")
> (setq gnus-summary-same-subject "...")
