display the whole thread to a marked article

display the whole thread to a marked article

[leo]

i mark articles for further importance via !. that works fine. 

however, when i revisit the summary buffer again, the article's child
articles are invisible, even with gnus-fetch-old-headers set to true.

how can i setup gnus so that threads with marked atricles are displayed
completely?

<side note for Kai Grossjohann>
i'm still trying to get used to gnus' concept "what's read is usually
not interesting any more." ;-), but threads have often a individuel
integrity optimally revealed when i see the complete trhread.

thanks for all advice!

cheers, leo

The gnus-fetch-old-headers trick fetches more parents, not children.
You were ticking the root of the thread.  If you fetch a leaf instead,
then gnus-fetch-old-headers might do something useful.

(But I confess that I usually just tick all messages in a thread that
interests me.)
