Killing *all* followups to killed messages

Killing *all* followups to killed messages

[Sebastian D.B. Krause]

First I think that I've found a bug in the documentation or at least
my configuration is wrong. In the documentation about adaptive
scoring is the following text:

,----[ Adaptive Scoring ]
|    You can also score on `thread', which will try to score all articles
| that appear in a thread.  `thread' matches uses a `Message-ID' to match
| on the `References' header of the article.  If the match is made, the
| `Message-ID' of the article is added to the `thread' rule.  (Think
| about it.  I'd recommend two aspirins afterwards.)
`----

To use it, I tried the following configuration:

,----[ ~/.gnus ]
| (setq gnus-use-adaptive-scoring t)
| (setq gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist
|       '((gnus-read-mark (thread 5))))
`----

But when read an article, I get the following error:

,----
| gnus-score-adaptive: Symbol's function definition is void: thread
`----

Is this a bug in the documentation or in my configuration?

My second question is if there is any possibility to kill *all*
followups on killed messages? For example, if a message is killed
(by all.SCORE, not by KILL), take it's Message-ID and put it in a
rule which filters on References and so kills the followups. Perhaps
this could be done with adaptive scoring, although it may be
slow.

Scoring by thread doesn't have much to do with adaptive scoring,
really.  `I t' will score by thread, and

 (setq gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist
       '((gnus-read-mark (thread 5))))

is invalid.

I've now removed the paragraph from the Adaptive Scoring node.

Yes, that's what thread and followup scoring does.
