- "Specifies date format depending on age of article.
-This is an alist of items (AGE . FORMAT). AGE can be a number (of
-seconds) or a Lisp expression evaluating to a number. When the age of
-the article is less than this number, then use `format-time-string'
-with the corresponding FORMAT for displaying the date of the article.
-If AGE is not a number or a Lisp expression evaluating to a
-non-number, then the corresponding FORMAT is used as a default value.
-
-Note that the list is processed from the beginning, so it should be
-sorted by ascending AGE. Also note that items following the first
-non-number AGE will be ignored.
-
-You can use the functions `gnus-seconds-today', `gnus-seconds-month'

-seconds passed since the start of today, of this month, of this year,
