That gets the groups of gathered threads into the proper order, but wouldn't it put the thread with the latest messages first within each group? I think I'd want the threads within each gathered group to be sorted by most-recent number or date too. Still, it may better than the status quo. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out. A new thread-gathering function that does something like: (reverse (gnus-gather-threads-by-subject (reverse arg))) (or similarly for -by-references) should accomplish the same. > I'm sure there's a better way, since this will only do good things > for those of us with the most recent messages at the bottom of the > buffer. True... Ken
