(I actually just hadn't thought about it before -- doesn't everybody know that the buffer that lists the groups is called "*Group*"? No? Oh, well. It's branded into my brain. :-) So the next release will have mode lines that look like "-- Gnus: *Group* {nntp:ifi}" (or whatever). That goes for all mode lines. I've also changed the default of `gnus-mode-non-string-length' to nil, which means that Gnus will not chop off too long mode line strings, and will not "pad" the mode lines. I think the old mode lines were blatant un-Emacsisms. They were prettier, though. -- Home is where the cat is.
