1767 %I Indentation based on thread level (a string of spaces)
1768 %T A string with two possible values: 80 spaces if the article
1769 is on thread level two or larger and 0 spaces on level one

1776 %i Article score (number)
1777 %z Article zcore (character)
1778 %t Number of articles under the current thread (number).
1779 %e Whether the thread is empty or not (character).
1780 %l GroupLens score (string).
1781 %V Total thread score (number).
1782 %P The line number (number).
1783 %O Download mark (character).
1784 %u User defined specifier. The next character in the format string should
1785 be a letter. Gnus will call the function gnus-user-format-function-X,
1786 where X is the letter following %u. The function will be passed the
1787 current header as argument. The function should return a string, which
1788 will be inserted into the summary just like information from any other
1789 summary specifier.
1791 Text between %( and %) will be highlighted with `gnus-mouse-face'
1792 when the mouse point is placed inside the area. There can only be one
1793 such area.
1795 The %U (status), %R (replied) and %z (zcore) specs have to be handled
1796 with care. For reasons of efficiency, Gnus will compute what column
1797 these characters will end up in, and \"hard-code\" that. This means that
1798 it is illegal to have these specs after a variable-length spec. Well,
1799 you might not be arrested, but your summary buffer will look strange,
1800 which is bad enough.
1802 The smart choice is to have these specs as for to the left as
1803 possible.
1805 This restriction may disappear in later versions of Gnus."
