+If you're using Google's Gmail, you may want to see your Gmail labels
+when reading your mail.  Gnus can give you this information if you ask
+for @samp{X-GM-LABELS} in the variable @code{gnus-extra-headers}. For
+example:
+
+@example
+(setq gnus-extra-headers
+      '(To Newsgroups X-GM-LABELS))
+@end example
+
+This will result in Gnus storing your labels in message header
+structures for later use.  The content is always a parenthesized
+(possible empty) list.
