I always have threading on for my emails and have been using: gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date is a compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum'. (gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date h1 h2) Sort threads such that the thread with the most recently dated article comes first. A long thread with recently arrived message comes out on top of other threads, similar to how gmail sorts. -- Danny Dick-Fung Siu mailto:dsiu@adobe.com Advanced Technology Labs @ Adobe Systems Incorporated Alexandre Oliva writes: Alexandre> Current thread sorting is somewhat sub-optimal for folders in Alexandre> which I keep lots of old messages that I still have hope of Alexandre> reading or even responding some day.
