@section Foreign Groups
@cindex foreign groups
+If you recall how to subscribe to servers (@pxref{Finding the News})
+you will remember that @code{gnus-secondary-select-methods} and
+@code{gnus-select-method} let you write a definition in Emacs Lisp of
+what servers you want to see when you start up. The alternate
+approach is to use foreign servers and groups. ``Foreign'' here means
+they are not coming from the select methods. All foreign server
+configuration and subscriptions are stored only in the
+@file{~/.newsrc.eld} file.
+
Below are some group mode commands for making and editing general foreign
groups, as well as commands to ease the creation of a few
special-purpose groups. All these commands insert the newly created
Desired cursor position (instead of after first colon).
@item &user-date;
Age sensitive date format. Various date format is defined in
-@code{gnus-user-date-format-alist}.
+@code{gnus-summary-user-date-format-alist}.
@item u
User defined specifier. The next character in the format string should
be a letter. Gnus will call the function
(@code{gnus-article-date-lapsed}). It looks something like:
@example
-X-Sent: 6 weeks, 4 days, 1 hour, 3 minutes, 8 seconds ago
+Date: 6 weeks, 4 days, 1 hour, 3 minutes, 8 seconds ago
@end example
-@vindex gnus-article-date-lapsed-new-header
-The value of @code{gnus-article-date-lapsed-new-header} determines
-whether this header will just be added below the old Date one, or will
-replace it.
-
-An advantage of using Gnus to read mail is that it converts simple bugs
-into wonderful absurdities.
+This line is updated continually by default. The frequency (in
+seconds) is controlled by the @code{gnus-article-update-date-headers}
+variable.
