GNUS Article now displays the current group name, the range of "active" articles (read by NNTP recently) and the current article number. I wish there was a way to get the time string and Mail notice into the Article modeline. > The GNUS Subject mode line should not include that mode string that > display-time et al use. Agreed, and it doesn't. It gives as much of the Subject line as it can fit. > GNUS Article mode should only display the Newsgroups line if it contains > multiple newsgroups.

(insert (gnus-version)): You're running GNUS 3.10 with NNTP 3.7 A lot of these things have been remedied in 3.10 and Masanobu has indicated that even more neat/nicer/nifty things are in the next release.
