Has this been changed, allowing you to sort gathered orphans by date and threads by score, or is it still a single sort method? 2) gnus-thread-total-score used to return only 'legitimate' articles' scores, not adopted articles in the total. Has this been changed, or is it possible to specify which? I ask for two situations: a) newsgroups with short expiration times, so many articles get orphaned quickly (alt.sysadmin.recovery is this way here), and b) mailing lists which don't pass References, so everything is orphaned. I'd like to be able to sort threads by the average score, but if gnus-thread-total-score only returns the 'legitimate' scores, and the gathered sort uses the same method as thread sort, I'll end up with threads with one person I score high at the top of the buffer, even if most of the conversationalists are scored low. -- +---------------------- Tivoli Customer Support ----------------------+ | Sten Drescher Tivoli Systems, Inc | | email: sten.drescher@tivoli.com 9442 Capital of Texas Hwy North | | phone: (512) 794-9070 Arboretum Plaza One, Suite 500 | | fax : (512) 345-2784 Austin, Texas 78759 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
