If you have `gnus-fetch-old-headers' set to `some'...

I think it would be very useful to have a command to show all articles
that belong to a thread, yes.  The only problem is that news servers
don't support this -- you can ask for the parent of an article, but
you can't ask for all the children of an article.  So doing this
basically means requesting the full NOV headers for all the articles
in the group.  I've put this on the Red Gnus todo list.
