Hi Andrew,
thank you for the long response to my queries. Very helpful.
Regarding /o, now it makes sense (the cycling nature of the retrieval)
and, yes, it seems to be working just fine. Because some of the groups
in the virtual collection have not had any recent activity, I was
confused by seeing significantly old articles in the list provided. I
now know that I need to multiply the number of messages, M, to retrieve
by N, where N is the number of groups in the virtual collection, to
ensure I get the M most recent emails I'm looking for. Simple enough,
especially if I then sort by date. Thank you for explaining this!
For A T,

> groups).
it doesn't work but I don't think it's the searching element, or maybe
it is. I get an error with the following [elided] backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)

gnus-request-thread(...)
gnus-summary-refer-thread(nil)
funcall-interactively(gnus-summary-refer-thread nil)
command-execute(gnus-summary-refer-thread)
The thread I want is there but there are also many other articles. The
particular thread has 4 articles in it. If I ask for the thread
starting in the right group, I get those articles that are in the thread
in that group.
Any suggestions? I can try without compiled code to see, if you wish?
And, yes, using nnselect, i.e. a more up to date code base for this
functionality, is bound to be helpful.
Thank you,
eric
