        Currently, yes, but I think it should be doable in a simpler way. All
the other gnus-treat-date-* features do the same thing: they display the date
in a particular format. However, the gnus-treat-date-lapsed feature does more,
since it needs *your* current time to compute a difference with the original
date. Hence it provides an additional information. That's why I don't consider
it as just another way to display the date.

        So IMHO, it should be treated a bit differently and in particular, it
shouldn't necessarily remove the previous date header, but behave according to
the value of some user option. If you agree with this, I can provide a patch.


        Also, since all those gnus-treat-date-* variables can't work together
(they all remove the previous date header), why having different variables?
Wouldn't it be better to have only one with a set of possible values?
