A list of newsgroup (summary buffer) local variables, or cons of
-variables and their default values (when the default values are not
-@code{nil}), that should be made global while the summary buffer is
-active. These variables can be used to set variables in the group
-parameters while still allowing them to affect operations done in
-other buffers. For example:
+variables and their default expressions to be evalled (when the default
+values are not @code{nil}), that should be made global while the summary
+buffer is active.
+
+Note: The default expressions will be evaluated (using function
+@code{eval}) before assignment to the local variable rather than just
+assigned to it. If the default expression is the symbol @code{global},
+that symbol will not be evaluated but the global value of the local
+variable will be used instead.
+
+These variables can be used to set variables in the group parameters
+while still allowing them to affect operations done in other
+buffers. For example:
@lisp
(setq gnus-newsgroup-variables
"^From:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\|^To:")))
@end lisp
+Also @pxref{Group Parameters}.
@end table
