Strange, it works for me (eg. using M P R .) even with threaded summary.

Can you have added some configfuration/package that interacts with the
function?

I found that I can mark all articles if I turn off threading and
regenerate the summary buffer in unthreaded mode.

But who runs in unthreaded mode? And why shouldn't we be able to mark
all articles in threaded mode? I have yet to figure out /why/ this is
the case ... it's getting a bit on the deep side for me!

Alas, not so, again, unless I turn off threading.
