There was a discussion a long time ago about this. The basic solution
is to save the current time in a group parameter, and access it in a
user-format-function for display.
Below is the code that I use. When I select a group, I save a formatted
string of the current time as a group parameter. I then use %ud in the
group-line-format to call a function that gets that parameter out.
If you follow this basic strategy, it should be cool.
.emacs:
(add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook-update-current-time)
(defun gnus-select-group-hook-update-current-time ()
"For consideration as a `gnus-select-group-hook'."
(let ((now (current-time-string)))
(gnus-group-set-parameter group
'gnus-group-date-last-entered
(concat (substring now 8 11)
(substring now 4 8)
(substring now 11 16)))))
(setq gnus-group-line-format "%M%S%p%5y: %(%-35g%) %ud\n")
(defun gnus-user-format-function-d (headers)
"Return the date the group was last read."
(cond ((gnus-group-get-parameter gnus-tmp-group
'gnus-group-date-last-entered))
(t "")))
