Subject: bug#35513: (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-number)) seems not to work always.
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:45:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v9yv2mmm.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I have set
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-number))
but also
(setq gnus-thread-ignore-subject nil)
Now look at the following ordering when threading is on.
89532 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [First message sent ] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:27:28 +0200 4.6k 1
89534 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [ ] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:27:59 +0200 8.1k 3
89536 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [ ] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:28:33 +0200 16k ?
89540 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [[New subject] (was: First] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:32:05 +0200 12k ?
89538 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [I sent a new message whic] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:29:54 +0200 7.8k 1
89542 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [[New message references k] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:32:43 +0200 12k ?
You will see that 89540 is ordered *before* 89538.
How did that happen? Here is a step by step instruction.
(setq gnus-thread-ignore-subject nil)
Sent some message to say your other email address and reply via followup
that gives
89532 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [First message sent ] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:27:28 +0200 4.6k 1
89534 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [ ] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:27:59 +0200 8.1k 3
89536 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [ ] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:28:33 +0200 16k ?
Then I sent a new message which does not belong to the thread, that is
89538 [ Uwe Braue] Uwe Brauer [I sent a new message whic] Tue, 30 Apr 2019 23:29:54 +0200 7.8k 1
Now I reply to 89536, change the subject but leave the reference
intact, that results in 89540, placed *before* 89538, which is not
correct.
I reply (followup again to message 89536, change the subject and remove
the reference that indeed message 89542 is ordered correctly.
I think the current behavior is not intuitive and should be changed:
Messages should be always ordered (in that setting I described above) by
their number independent whether it has it source in a thread.
