I thought I had an idea what was wrong but turns out not so much. I have
tried and failed to reproduce this error (I am only trying imap since
that is what I have installed).

Maybe we can narrow it down to a simpler test case (debugging is quite
painful if you have lots of articles). First, maybe try a single
component group (create a new nnvirtual group with the convenience
function and in answer to  the component group prompt use a list that
contains a single group; choose a group that has the article you want to
do thread referral on).

Does this work? If so, try adding a second group and see if it still
works. If not, we have a simpler test case to work on.

Once we have a simple enough test case I can walk you through debugging
the thread referral function to see whats what.

Best,
Andy
