Message-ID: <wkaesvjc3v.fsf@chevax.ecs.umass.edu> (raw)

>From the documentation on this variable, I have set it to 'adopt so that
Gnus will collect a thread together and make one of the members the parent
when there is no obvious parent.  

However, with one of my mailing lists that I get in digest mode, the
messages are collected in reverse order in the Digest.  As a result, the
actual thread head is /after/ the replies when I open the digest.  As a
result, Gnus simply makes one of the replies the adopted parent.

Is there any way for Gnus to use a message without "^Re:" as the parent of
the thread?  It would be really cool for Gnus to revert to 'dummy if there
is no apparent parent message, but I can live without that.  I don't like
the 'dummy or 'none behaviors because the problem is exactly the same.  The
messages are still listed in the order that they arrived.

Thanks,
Jack
