Everyday I get an email from my bank saying what my account balance is. These are all different emails, but Gnus puts them all in one thread, I think because they have the same subject. If I go into my bank group and insert old articles, I get


O  Jan 24, 2023     Alliant Alerts      0  Account Balance Notification

I don't know the most informative way to ask this question, but is there a way to make Gnus just thread distinct conversations together (like Outlook.)

I'd like to not disable threads entirely.

By default, `gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function' is set to the
function `gnus-gather-threads-by-subject', which produces the behavior
you're seeing. Try setting it to `gnus-gather-threads-by-references' instead.
