3.1.3 Summary Buffer Mode Line

You can also change the format of the summary mode bar (see section 8.4.2 Mode Line Formatting). Set gnus-summary-mode-line-format to whatever you like. The default is `Gnus: %%b [%A] %Z'.

Here are the elements you can play with:

`G'

Group name.

`p'

Unprefixed group name.

`A'

Current article number.

`z'

Current article score.

`V'

Gnus version.

`U'

Number of unread articles in this group.

`e'

Number of unread articles in this group that aren't displayed in the summary buffer.

`Z'

A string with the number of unread and unselected articles represented either as `<%U(+%e) more>' if there are both unread and unselected articles, and just as `<%U more>' if there are just unread articles and no unselected ones.

`g'

Shortish group name. For instance, `rec.arts.anime' will be shortened to `r.a.anime'.

`S'

Subject of the current article.

`u'

User-defined spec (see section 8.4.4 User-Defined Specs).

`s'

Name of the current score file (see section 7. Scoring).

`d'

Number of dormant articles (see section 3.7.1 Unread Articles).

`t'

Number of ticked articles (see section 3.7.1 Unread Articles).

`r'

Number of articles that have been marked as read in this session.

`E'

Number of articles expunged by the score files.
