(setq gnus-summary-line-format
      (concat
       "%0{%U%R%z%}"
       "%3{│%}" "%1{%~(pad-right 9)&user-date;%}" "%3{│%}" ;; date
       "  "
       "%4{%-20,20f%}"               ;; name
       "  "
       "%3{│%}"
       " "
       "%1{%B%}"
       "%s\n"))


This used to display correctly when I was using linux, but hasn't worked
since I started using OS X.

Some other summary settings that I am using:

(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
      '(gnus-thread-sort-by-number
        gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date))

(setq gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function
      'gnus-gather-threads-by-references)

(setq gnus-user-date-format-alist
      '(((gnus-seconds-today) . "    %k:%M")
        (604800 . "%a %k:%M")
        ((gnus-seconds-month)
         . "%a %d")
        ((gnus-seconds-year)
         . "%b %d")
        (t . "%b %d '%y")))

(setq gnus-summary-display-arrow t)
