Hello
I searched the manual and google, but can't find the solution for the
following problem. Sometimes people answer to a mail in a thread with a
complete different content which has nothing to do with the original
subject of the thread.
So the best solution seems to me to move that article out of the treat
and make it parent of a new thread. There is the
(gnus-summary-reparent-children) function but when applying it to an
article in the thread it is not moved out.
What do I miss?
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

You could try deleting its References header...

You mean when I try to reply to a message?
But I meant just moving it in the tread *before* replying to it.

It was just a guess -- I meant editing and resaving the message without
a References header before you reply to it. I just tried it with a mail
message -- I had to get rid of both References and In-Reply-To, but
after that gnus believed it was a parent message and moved it to the top
of its own thread.

Well I am using the imap backend. I tried your suggestion and it worked,
at first. After I toggled threading off and on again, the old threading
was restored. I have not seen such a feature in other mail readers, so
maybe it is difficult to implement.

Yeah, I don't use imap and I imagine it's simpler with nnmail, where the
messages are just local files you can mess with as you please. Perhaps
the header changes are getting reset, or there's some way you can
propagate them to the server? I'm shooting in the dark, I'm no expert...

I used a function doing just that a few days ago found somewhere on the
web but I can't find it anymore. Maybe you'll be luckier than me with
google.
