You're not alone on this one. ;)
| below is the currently gnus-summary-line-format value
|
| gnus-summary-line-format's value is
| "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n"
| Local in buffer *Summary nnml:mail.misc*; global value is
| "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n"
|
| it's amazing that the local value and global value are exactly same!
| so i dont understand what make the differences.
Don't worry about the fact that they are the same, it shouldn't be a
problem.
| so, what do i do? thanks.
(setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23n%]%) %s\n")
I've changed the "f" to an "n", and you can see from the docs:
`C-h v gnus-summary-line-format RET' gives (excerpts:)
,----
| %n Name of the poster (string)
| %a Extracted name of the poster (string)
| %A Extracted address of the poster (string)
| %F Contents of the From: header (string)
| %f Contents of the From: or To: headers (string)
`----
For some reason, Gnus defaults to the To: header in nnml when "f" is
active. I haven't looked into why, someone else can certainly answer
that one. Also, you might want to experiment with some of the other
alternatives above.
You'll also notice that I've changed "-23,23" to "-23", and that's
because really long names will be shown. That's my personal preference
only.

When in doubt, use brute force.
