Yes, it's easy for someone who knows Gnus internals. Andy you could
document it -- that will help people find responses to their own
articles.
But Gnus doc does not help a non-Gnus-user who want to kill a
Gnus-user's threads. Or a Gnus user who thinks the doc is far too big
to read all of it. OTOH, the common rule that Message Id's look like
<username.something@domain> can be discovered even by a naive user who
doesn't know anything about the poster's news agent.

Hallvard
