Re: My first article with Gnus, eventually...

[Francis Moreau]

BTW, your follow up is displayed as a "loose thread", that is my
"root" thread is alone in the summary buffer whereas yours is the
"root" of all others sub-thread.

I'm wondering how does this happen and if it's my configuration which
is wrong.

My root article has the following 'MessageID':

                      <m27i8bqydm.fsf@gmail.com>

and your 'References:' header field is:

       <mailman.992.1223979315.25473.info-gnus-english@gnu.org>

So it seems your 'References:' field is missing my message ID. How
does this happen ?

Also here is how your sub thread is displayed:

!  │14-Oct│Ted Zlatanov         │6.7k│   0│● Re: My first article with Gnus, 
eventually...
!  │15-Oct│Bastien              │5.2k│   0│ ├─► 
!  │16-Oct│Francis Moreau       │4.6k│   0│ │╰─►

!  │16-Oct│Francis Moreau       │5.9k│   0│   ╰─► 

That's incorrect for several reasons:

  - the '├─►' isn't correctly aligned with the '●' above;

  - 'harven' actually replied to my 'root' article (not displayed).

I take a look into the tree buffer and the tree looks correct (except
that my root article is missing):

        {***}-<Ted>-[Bas]-[Fra]
                |     \[Fra]
                \<har>-[Fra]

Here's my current setup about threading:

,----
| (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 'some)
| 
| (setq gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function 
|       'gnus-gather-threads-by-references)
`----


Do you have any idea what's wrong ?

Thanks

Francis

PS: the sad thing is that all is correctly displayed with Thunderbird.
