I use it quite often. In addition I have: ;; How to find the parent article (setq gnus-refer-article-method '(current (nntp "iridium.home.local") ; first my local inn, then (nntp "news.t-online.de") ; news.t-online.de, then (nnweb "google" (nnweb-type google)) ; groups.google.com and finally (nntp "news.gmane.org"))) ; news.gmane.org Since I let Gnus show me new articles only and I often need to go up within the thread I usually hit ^ instead of rebuilding the thread by `A R' or `A T'. Besides my local inn stores articles just for 4 months so it is a great feature to look at other newsservers with the code mentioned above. Regards, Marcus -- "This elevator serves me alone.
