I often use `/ n' followed by `/ T' to limit summary articles to the current thread. This seems to pull all the messages of the thread into the summary buffer, including older ones. Then when I'm done I pop the summary limit twice, by typing `/ w / w', and (optionally) hide the old/deleted messages with `x'. Maybe this is more useful than `A T'? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
