Yes, I guess...  Can one do that under XEmacs?

Speaking of `mouse-face', you can now do this:

(setq gnus-summary-line-format
      "%3(%U%R%z%I%)%(%[%4L: %-20,20n%]%) %2(%s%)\n")
(setq gnus-mouse-face-2 'bold)
(setq gnus-mouse-face-3 'italic)

Then the Subject will magically become bold when you put the mouse
cursor on that part of the text.  How... useless!  I love it!  :-)

(This won't work under XEmacs, of course.)

I've also done some work on post-processing the output from
`gnus-parse-simple-format' to avoid most `format's.  Simple `insert's
and `princ's will be used where possible.  I have done no testing to
see how this affect speed, but it should help.  At least, it shouldn't
hurt.  Much.  :-)
