Hi,
I have a problem killing subthreads. E.g. I have a thread like this:
[ article ]
[ article 1 ]
[ article 1.1 ]
[ article 2 ]
[ article 2.1 ]
When I read the top article and reenter the group, the thread looks
like this:
[ article 1 ]
[ article 1.1 ]
< article 2 >
[ article 2.1 ]
That's what I want: one thread containing all loose threads. Now I read
article 1 and think: "off topic", I don't want to read this
subthread. How can I kill the subthread 1 without killing subthread 2?
When I invoke gnus-summary-kill-thread all articles are killed.
I want to mark the article 1 as killed and all articles from this
subthread as killed (or read) and then I use adaptive scoring to make
sure I don't read anything from this subthread again. But I want all
articles from subthread 2 marked as unread.
Dirk

There is no pre-defined functionality in Gnus for doing this.
Perhaps there should be a separate command that worked on strict
threads...

Does it work if you tell Gnus to insert an empty dummy article for the
thread root?

I suggest using one or both of the below, this will make article 1 and
article 2 be siblings by creating an old or empty common root article.
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 1000.0)
(setq gnus-build-sparse-threads 'some)
