Make Gnus display all e-mail related to the current thread

Make Gnus display all e-mail related to the current thread

[Narendra Joshi]

Hi,

I find myself using 'A T' ['gnus-summary-refer-thread'] a lot in 
Gnus
*Summary* buffer. A lot of times I am trying to look at the 
 complete
conversation in the thread but the command restricts the displayed
e-mails to only those that can be reached moving up the current 
email in
the thread. Is there a command that would display all the e-mails 
in the
current thread?


Best regards,

`A T' will try to fetch the entire thread, but if the thread is broken
(which is very common; i.e., some messages are missing References
headers), then `A T' won't be able to do its job.

Is A T meant to work with virtual groups.  I use a virtual group that
collects all the emails from a number of groups, all on the same server
and it does not seem to do the job (anecdotally as I haven't extensively
tested to see what it does).

thank you.

It would be nice if it did, but it doesn't.  :-/

Ah, pity.  Okay, thank you.
