Yeah, but that's after the clarification. :-) They used to say: -displayed in the Summary buffer. If this variable is t, Gnus -will attempt to grab the headers to the old articles, and thereby -build complete threads. If it has the value `some', only enough -headers to connect otherwise loose threads will be displayed. This -variable can also be a number. In that case, no more than that number -of old headers will be fetched. If it has the value `invisible', all i.e., it didn't say that all headers would be fetched... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
