Can't find the right article via subject header

Can't find the right article via subject header

[Kai Großjohann]

Consider the following snippet from my summary buffer:


   Marks &c           From              Subject
-------------------  ---------------   --------------------
 ! +Thu 05.06.,0.4M: Kai Großjohann  | Bewerbung als Software-Engineer (Id 7c09b73a2484)
 ! +Mon 12:47h,0.4M: Kai Großjohann  | 
 !      15:01h,4.1k: Annemarie.Creme |   ╰─╮ AW: Bewerbung als Software-Engineer (Kz. ASch 04/03)

"Bewerbung als" means "application for position as" -- I'm looking
for a job.  In case you are wondering :-)

The last message didn't have a references header, when I received
it.  So I wanted to use `T ^' to adopt it in the right thread.  "Kz."
stands for "Kennziffer" which means "identifying number".  I thought
that would be a sure way to find the right parent.  So I typed C-r
(the message was the last in the summary buffer) to search backward
for the right parent.  But I couldn't find it!

This is not good.

I guess it must be a pilot error, but I can't remember that I did
anything that would cause subjects to disappear.  For example,
gnus-simplify-subject-functions is nil.  *looking*  Hm.
gnus-summary-gather-subject-limit is fuzzy, but
gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy-regexp is nil.

Help?

Uhm, er...  you don't use some form of gnus-summary-line-format that
only displays the subject of roots unconditionally, or something like
that?
