In the gnus *Article* buffer, Date: headers are now displayed like this:
Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 21:03:46 -0000 (9 hours, 50 minutes, 59 seconds ago)
... where the "(9 hours ... seconds ago)" bit is dynamically updated,
with the seconds counting down as I watch.
While very cute, this is also annoying.
Anyone know how to turn off the "seconds" part? I'd be perfectly fine
with only know the relative time to within a minute, and that would make
the dynamic updates not annoying.
Indeed, I'd suggest making minute-precision the default with this feature.
Thanks,
-Miles

Hmm, oddly, "C-h v" doesn't seem to recognize that variable for me...
and "M-: gnus-article-update-date-headers RET"
=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable gnus-article-update-date-headers)
...
... and looking at `gnus-start-date-timer' in gnus-art.el, the repeat
interval seems to be hardwired...
Did you just change it in the last few minutes...?
Thanks,

It appears to be called gnus-article-update-lapsed-header on my
emacs (compiled from trunk on Saturday). Also, it appears that gnus
reads the value of the variable only on startup. Changing it has no
effect until gnus is quit and restarted.

There is a Gnus development list
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general
where things like this are discussed.

I'm using the git version of Gnus. Maybe, that variable has been
introduced very recently because other's also complained, but the
changes didn't hit the emacs repository till now.
