I see from the help information (C-h i) that the date can be
displayed in a summary buffer line in several formats:

`D'
     `Date'.
`d'
     The `Date' in `DD-MMM' format.
`o'
     The `Date' in YYYYMMDD`T'HHMMSS format.

On my system, the first produces a form like Sat, 5 Oct 2002
19:14:34 -0400.

Is there any way to specify other formats?  I'd like YYYY-MM-DD.
In Emacs, I use %Y-%m-%d in these situations, but it didn't work
here.

You can get close by taking a substring of the YYYYMMMDDTHHMM format.
There is something involving the ~ character which allows you to
specify a substring operation in gnus-summary-line-format.
