In the Group Buffer, against a group, hit ' G P' and enter the
following

((display . 100))

and then hit C-c C-c.  Now enter the group, you should see the last
100 articles; the number can be changed to suit your taste.  You may
also want to read up on 'Group Parameters' in the info file.

Could  you elaborate on this?

See the first suggestion.  It may be a good idea to do it in the .gnus
file by doing something like this
        ("mail\\.misc" 
         (visible . t) 
         (display . all) 
         (posting-style 
          (address "nsivar.net@gmail.com") 
          (name "Sivaram Neelakantan") 
          (body "\n\n sivaram\n -- \n") 
          (user-mail-address "nsivar.net@gmail.com"))) 

on a per group basis.  See also Posting Styles documentation.
