You want "%...f" to get the alternate forms, not "%...n".  See doc
string.  `f' should probably be made default, since it defaults to `n'
behavior in the absence of sufficient overview clues.

`B'?  That's not one of the specifiers in gnus-summary-line-format.
Perhaps it's a defunctitude from an older incantation of Gnus?

See gnus-summary-line-format-alist in gnus-sum.el, and the defcustom
in gnus.el.
