In my info file, the node `Fancy Mail Splitting' contains this:
/----
| `nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent' is a function which allows you to
| split followups into the same groups their parents are in. Sometimes
| you can't make splitting rules for all your mail. For example, your
| boss might send you personal mail regarding different projects you are
| working on, and as you can't tell your boss to put a distinguishing
| string into the subject line, you have to resort to manually moving the
| messages into the right group. With this function, you only have to do
| it once per thread.
|
| To use this feature, you have to set `nnmail-treat-duplicates' to a
| non-nil value. And then you can include
| `nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent' using the colon feature, like so:
| (setq nnmail-split-fancy
| '(| (: nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent)
| ;; other splits go here
| ))
|
| This feature works as follows: when `nnmail-treat-duplicates' is
| non-nil, Gnus records the message id of every message it sees in the
| file specified by the variable `nnmail-message-id-cache-file', together
| with the group it is in (the group is omitted for non-mail messages).
| When mail splitting is invoked, the function
| `nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent' then looks at the References (and
| In-Reply-To) header of each message to split and searches the file
| specified by `nnmail-message-id-cache-file' for the message ids. When
| it has found a parent, it returns the corresponding group name. It is
| recommended that you set `nnmail-message-id-cache-length' to a somewhat
| higher number than the default so that the message ids are still in the
| cache. (A value of 5000 appears to create a file some 300 kBytes in
| size.) When `nnmail-cache-accepted-message-ids' is non-`nil', Gnus
| also records the message ids of moved articles, so that the followup
| messages goes into the new group.
