6.1.1 Server Buffer Format

You can change the look of the server buffer lines by changing the gnus-server-line-format variable. This is a format-like variable, with some simple extensions:

`h'

How the news is fetched--the back end name.

`n'

The name of this server.

`w'

Where the news is to be fetched from--the address.

`s'

The opened/closed/denied status of the server.

The mode line can also be customized by using the gnus-server-mode-line-format variable (see section 8.4.2 Mode Line Formatting). The following specs are understood:

`S'

Server name.

`M'

Server method.
