Threading in news and not in mail ...

Threading in news and not in mail ...

[Stefan Waldherr]

Hi,

I grouped all my mail groups under one huge `Mail' topic and edited the
topic's parameter to include 

	(gnus-show-threads nil)

I thought that I could avoid threading mail groups by this. Unfortunately I
was wrong.

My .gnus contains:

(setq gnus-show-threads t)
(setq gnus-thread-hide-subtree t)
(setq gnus-auto-select-first nil)
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions 
      '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date
	)
      )

Yet, some mail groups still get threaded. Am I overlooking something here?

Stefan.

Yes, that should be the case.

What is the value of that variable in the mail groups that are
threaded?

Variables in .gnus
(setq gnus-show-threads t) 
(setq gnus-thread-hide-subtree t) 
(setq gnus-auto-select-first nil) 
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions  
      '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date 
        ) 
      ) 

Topic structure
0: Gnus  
   0: Mail  
      0:  nndraft:drafts                                               (1) 
      0:  nnml:inbox                                                   (2) 
      0:  nnml:outbox                                                  (2) 
      0:  nnml:swa                                                     (2) 
[...]

Mail's topic params contain only:
(gnus-show-threads nil)

Yet, when entering `nnml:inbox', the summary is threaded. `M-x
describe-variable gnus-show-threads' gives: gnus-show-threads's value
is t. 

Hope that helps,
Stefan.

Well, thanks to Mark Moll I found that this should have been

	((gnus-show-threads nil))

That should be 

((gnus-show-threads nil))
