Yes. Here is my gnus-parameters setting: (setq gnus-parameters '(("nndoc:.*" (gnus-show-threads nil) (gnus-article-sort-functions (list 'gnus-article-sort-by-number))) ("nnrss:.*" (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil) (gnus-article-sort-functions '(gnus-article-sort-by-number)) (gnus-show-threads nil) (total-expire . t)))) which you can modify to suit your needs. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
