You can use the group parameters to set variables local to the group you

parameters, then you may need the following statement elsewhere in your
@file{~/.gnus} file:
+
@lisp
(add-to-list 'gnus-newsgroup-variables 'message-from-style)
@end lisp
@vindex gnus-list-identifiers
A use for this feature is to remove a mailing list identifier tag in
the subject fields of articles. E.g. if the news group
+
@example
nntp+news.gnus.org:gmane.text.docbook.apps
@end example

has the tag @samp{DOC-BOOK-APPS:} in the subject of all articles, this
tag can be removed from the article subjects in the summary buffer for
the group by putting @code{(gnus-list-identifiers "DOCBOOK-APPS:")}

If you are using a threaded summary display, you can sort the threads by
setting @code{gnus-thread-sort-functions}, which can be either a single
function, a list of functions, or a list containing functions and
string, the match is done on the entire article. If given a prefix,
search backward instead.
