If I happen to be in the happy circumstance where the news server has
long message expiry times, is there any way to tell Gnus to either 
        Catch up all articles before some date
        Limit the summary buffer to articles before / after some date

I know I can just tell Gnus to give me the 200 (or whatever) most recent
articles, but I was wondering if this date functionality was somehow
available.
