I never do that - maybe because I can't, maybe because I have adapted to
how things work... I am not quite sure.

You can go to the newsgroup and find your own articles there by
searching for your name (/ a), and then you have the thread directly?

Does it help to configure the variable gnus-refer-article-method ?

I've never thought of doing that, but...

I usually read the newsgroups I am subscribed to, so I don't need to do
anything special to find the answers - they arrive as unread articles,
and I read them.

I highlight replies by using the trick of scoring on the constant part
of my Message-Id's in the References header.

I.e. I have in my ~/News/all.SCORE:

 ("references"
  ("<87[0-9a-z]+\\.fsf\\(_-_\\)?@.*koldfront.dk>" nil nil r))

(The constant part varies from user to user, of course).

Well, I only see the new articles, but yes. This only works well for
groups with groups with a reasonable traffic level; the all.SCORE trick
mentioned above helps on larger groups, but I guess huge groups, like
lkml, would be problematic in any case.

I wonder if the "warp" functionality can be used/expanded for your use.
