+
+In some groups (particularly in archive groups), the @code{From} header
+isn't very interesting, since all the articles there are written by
+you. To display the information in the @code{To} or @code{Newsgroups}
+headers instead, you need to decide three things: What information to
+gather; where to display it; and when to display it.
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+@vindex gnus-extra-headers
+The reading of extra header information is controlled by the
+@code{gnus-extra-headers}. This is a list of header symbols. For
+instance:
+
+@lisp
+(setq gnus-extra-headers
+ '(To Newsgroups X-Newsreader))
+@end lisp
+
+This will result in Gnus trying to obtain these three headers, and
+storing it in header structures for later easy retrieval.
+
+@item
+@findex gnus-extra-header
+The value of these extra headers can be accessed via the
+@code{gnus-extra-header} function. Here's a format line spec that will
+access the @code{X-Newsreader} header:
+
+@example
+"%~(form (gnus-extra-header 'X-Newsreader))@@"
+@end example
+
+@item
+@vindex gnus-ignored-from-addresses
+The @code{gnus-ignored-from-addresses} variable says when the @samp{%f}
+summary line spec returns the @code{To}, @code{Newsreader} or
+@code{From} header. If this regexp matches the contents of the
+@code{From} header, the value of the @code{To} or @code{Newsreader}
+headers are used instead.
+
+@end enumerate
+
+@vindex nnmail-extra-headers
+A related variable is @code{nnmail-extra-headers}, which controls when
+to include extra headers when generating active files.
+
+In summary, you'd typically do something like the following:
+
+@lisp
+(setq gnus-extra-headers
+ '(To Newsgroups))
+(setq nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers)
+(setq gnus-summary-line-format
+ "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s\n")
+(setq gnus-ignored-from-addresses
+ "Your Name Here")

+@item (nnchoke-request-set-mark GROUP ACTION &optional SERVER)
+
+Set/remove/add marks on articles. Normally Gnus handles the article
+marks (such as read, ticked, expired etc) internally, and store them in
+@code{~/.newsrc.eld}. Some backends (such as IMAP) however carry all
+information about the articles on the server, so Gnus need to propagate
+the mark information to the server.
+
+ACTION is a list of mark setting requests, having this format:
+
+@example
+(RANGE ACTION MARK)
+@end example
+
+Range is a range of articles you wish to update marks on. Action is
+@code{set}, @code{add} or @code{del}, respectively used for removing all
+existing marks and setting them as specified, adding (preserving the
+marks not mentioned) mark and removing (preserving the marks not
+mentioned) marks. Mark is a list of marks; where each mark is a
+symbol. Currently used marks are @code{read}, @code{tick}, @code{reply},
+@code{expire}, @code{killed}, @code{dormant}, @code{save},
+@code{download} and @code{unsend}, but your backend should, if possible,
+not limit itself to theese.
+
+Given contradictory actions, the last action in the list should be the
+effective one. That is, if your action contains a request to add the
+@code{tick} mark on article 1 and, later in the list, a request to
+remove the mark on the same article, the mark should in fact be removed.
+
+An example action list:
+
+@example
+(((5 12 30) 'del '(tick))
+ ((10 . 90) 'add '(read expire))
+ ((92 94) 'del '(read)))
+@end example
+
+The function should return a range of articles it wasn't able to set the
+mark on (currently not used for anything).
+
+There should be no result data from this function.
