If you want to have this line updated continually, you can put
(gnus-start-date-timer) |
in your `~/.gnus.el' file, or you can run it off of some hook. If
you want to stop the timer, you can use the gnus-stop-date-timer
command.

). This can
be useful if you normally use some other conversion function and are
worried that it might be doing something totally wrong. Say, claiming
that the article was posted in 1854. Although something like that is
totally impossible. Don't you trust me? *titter*
See section 4.3 Customizing Articles, for how to display the date in your preferred format automatically.
