gnus-treat-date-user-defined not working

[Jari Aalto+mail.emacs]

    I use

        (setq gnus-treat-date-user-defined 'gnus-article-date-user)
        (setq gnus-article-time-format     'my-gnus-article-date)

    But the articles don't use the customised format; but look like:

    If I manually hit  w t s  the Date becomes as I want it.

    How do I make gnus to display it like this all the time?

    gnus-treat-date-user-defined's value is 
    gnus-article-date-user

    Documentation:
    Display the date in a user-defined format.
    The format is defined by the `gnus-article-time-format' variable.

    ---

    gnus-article-time-format's value is 
    my-gnus-article-date

    Documentation:
    Format for display of Date headers in article bodies.
    See `format-time-string' for the possible values.

    The variable can also be function, which should return a complete Date
    header.  The function is called with one argument, the time, which can
    be fed to `format-time-string'.

I had:

        (setq gnus-treat-date-user-defined 'gnus-article-date-user)
        (setq gnus-article-time-format     'my-gnus-article-date)

But it didn't make a difference Hm; after debugging I found 
out that the the visual had to be turned on in order to these
variables be respected. I propose following patch to the documentation.

Somehow Gnus put's User's date in the middle of the article. You can see
it with vanilla 0.77 and with this setup:


    (setq gnus-treat-date-ut        t)
    (setq gnus-treat-date-user-defined  'gnus-article-date-user)
    (setq gnus-article-time-format          'my-gnus-article-date)

    (setq gnus-treatment-function-alist
          '((gnus-treat-date-ut gnus-article-date-user)))

    (defun my-gnus-article-date (date-list)
      "Date:                                     //// test /////")

Any ideas?

That should be `head' unless you want a Date header in the body.  :-)

I guess all these variables should enumerate the valid values.
