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 can be discovered even by a naive user who doesn't know anything about the poster's news agent. Regards, Hallvard
