Somewhat suboptimal, I'd say, as it seems to often try to receive every
available header.
Why doesn't (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 1000) work when there are not even
1000 headers
in a group? In the tests I've done - which are hardly exhaustive - it seems to
have done
absolutely nothing at all.
Look, here's an example.
First, I mark your message as unread, giving this summary buffer:
08 Mar 08:38 Re: Showing Complete Active Threads Tassilo Horn
I instruct gnus to fetch old headers:
M-: (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 1000)
There should be no problem here. All the messages in this thread
are in the set containing the last 1000 messages.
I leave the summary buffer:
1: gnu.emacs.gnus
132: alt.test
5: nndraft:drafts
So far so good :) Now I check for new messages (perhaps not necessaray to do
that) and
hit <RET> to reenter the summar buffer. And this is what I see:
08 Mar 08:38 Re: Showing Complete Active Threads Tassilo Horn
Oh... it's a loose thread. What happens if I type A R? Let's see now:
R 08 Mar 06:07 Showing Complete Active Threads Rolleston
08 Mar 08:38 \-> Tassilo Horn
And there it is, the whole thread. Hmm.. Ok. Let's try your suggestion (without
the quote):
M-u
M-: (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers t)
We leap out of the summary buffer, and dive back in again:
O 08 Mar 06:07 Showing Complete Active Threads Rolleston
08 Mar 08:38 \-> Tassilo Horn
Hmmph! What's going on here?
Thanks,
R.
