Okay, but this doesn't actually work as advertised… I've got: gnus-thread-sort-functions -> ((not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date)) And here's a chunk of my misc summary buffer, with bits cut out of the from and subject fields to make it tidier: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- OA 78: 猫猫 丁 Re: A message from P | Monday 14:37 OA 119: 猫猫 丁 | Monday 17:54 ! 375: 猫猫 丁 | Today, 15:45 OA 41556: grace王小姐 Re: Re:晋昇-王丹丹（ | Monday 15:10 O 142: grace王小姐 | Today, 17:05 O 140: Publishing Perspe Let's Read Program T | Monday 15:30 O 18: Vivian Wang 转发: Make-Do PublisNew | Wednesday 04 O 69: Grace Re: Make-Do Publishiw Di | Wednesday 04 O 495: <He.meiji | Monday 15:23 O 485: Bruce Please STOP clicking | Monday 16:28 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So clearly it's not ordering by the latest message in a thread. The top two threads should be way down at the bottom of the summary buffer… -- GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-07-08 on pellet Ma Gnus v0.6 _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
