"`gnus-auto-select-same' If non-`nil', all the movement commands will try to go to the next article with the same subject as the current. ("Same" here might mean "roughly equal". See `gnus-summary-gather-subject-limit' for details (*note Customizing Threading::.).) This variable is not particularly useful if you use a threaded display." I don't understand. The point Jake was making is that, when finishing with one thread, within which this variable seems to keep you in-thread, the subsequent choice by `n' is to go to the _earliest_ unread article, rather than moving downward for a _following_ unread article beyond the current-but-now-finished thread. Presumably, "downward" would include wraparound back to the top if there aren't any more unread articles below point, but there are some above. Perhaps there is a semantic confusion as to the concept of "next," i.e., Jake (and others) want "next" to be "farther down, with wraparound," but Gnus currently implements "next" as "follow the thread, but then start over from the top." The info blurb even says, "not particularly useful if you use a threaded display."
