3.18.8 Article Date
-------------------
The date is most likely generated in some obscure timezone you’ve never
heard of, so it’s quite nice to be able to find out what the time was
when the article was sent.
‘W T u’
Display the date in UT (aka. GMT, aka ZULU)
(‘gnus-article-date-ut’).
‘W T i’
Display the date in international format, aka. ISO 8601
(‘gnus-article-date-iso8601’).
‘W T l’
Display the date in the local timezone (‘gnus-article-date-local’).
‘W T p’
Display the date in a format that’s easily pronounceable in English
(‘gnus-article-date-english’).
‘W T s’
Display the date using a user-defined format
(‘gnus-article-date-user’). The format is specified by the
‘gnus-article-time-format’ variable, and is a string that’s passed
to ‘format-time-string’. See the documentation of that variable
for a list of possible format specs.
‘W T e’
Say how much time has elapsed between the article was posted and
now (‘gnus-article-date-lapsed’). It looks something like:
Date: 6 weeks, 4 days, 1 hour, 3 minutes, 8 seconds ago
To make this line updated continually, set the
‘gnus-article-update-date-headers’ variable to the frequency in
seconds (the default is ‘nil’).
‘W T o’
Display the original date (‘gnus-article-date-original’). 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*
