Why doesn't (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 1000) work when there are not even 1000 headers in a group? In the tests I've done - which are hardly exhaustive - it seems to have done absolutely nothing at all. Look, here's an example. First, I mark your message as unread, giving this summary buffer: 08 Mar 08:38 Re: Showing Complete Active Threads Tassilo Horn I instruct gnus to fetch old headers: M-: (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 1000) There should be no problem here. All the messages in this thread are in the set containing the last 1000 messages. I leave the summary buffer: 1: gnu.emacs.gnus 132: alt.test 5: nndraft:drafts So far so good :) Now I check for new messages (perhaps not necessaray to do that) and hit to reenter the summar buffer. And this is what I see: 08 Mar 08:38 Re: Showing Complete Active Threads Tassilo Horn Oh... it's a loose thread. What happens if I type A R? Let's see now: R 08 Mar 06:07 Showing Complete Active Threads Rolleston 08 Mar 08:38 \-> Tassilo Horn And there it is, the whole thread. Hmm.. Ok. Let's try your suggestion (without the quote): M-u M-: (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers t) We leap out of the summary buffer, and dive back in again: O 08 Mar 06:07 Showing Complete Active Threads Rolleston 08 Mar 08:38 \-> Tassilo Horn Hmmph! What's going on here? Thanks, R.
