Personally, I like the `-> and would like to see a > on the pseudo
root, although the inconsistency is the most annoying thing :-)

Perhaps a new configuration option is required to control how the
above case is handled? Do you think it would be straightforward to

at this myself (although I'm not that familiar with the innards of
Gnus).
