I already wrote a hook to change gnus-refer-thread-use-search for another reason, to add the current gnus-message-archive-group to gnus-refer-thread-use-search. To just add the current group writing a hook would be to clumsy. Using the current symbol similar as in gnus-refer-article-method is much simpler, makes the setting easier to understand and customize for new users. The customization changes are there to use better custom types which makes it easier to customize and harder to put false values into the option when using custom. > Also, please be sure to leave two spaces between sentences, per our > conventions.
