By default Gnus does threading by subject, so it seems you have changed that. See the docs: ,----[ (info "(gnus)Loose Threads") ] | `gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function' | Gnus gathers threads by looking at `Subject' headers. This means | that totally unrelated articles may end up in the same "thread", | which is confusing. An alternate approach is to look at all the | `Message-ID's in all the `References' headers to find matches. | This will ensure that no gathered threads ever include unrelated | articles, but it also means that people who have posted with broken | newsreaders won't be gathered properly. The choice is | yours--plague or cholera: | | `gnus-gather-threads-by-subject' | This function is the default gathering function and looks at | `Subject's exclusively. | | `gnus-gather-threads-by-references' | This function looks at `References' headers exclusively. | | If you want to test gathering by `References', you could say | something like: | | (setq gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function | 'gnus-gather-threads-by-references) `---- As the docs say, it's either plague or cholera. I usually use threading by references, but in groups where only people with broken newsreaders hang around, you could set it to subject by using group parameters. See (info "(gnus)Group Parameters").
