Sorting me to the top

Sorting me to the top

[Sam Peterson]

Hello, this is my first post here.  I've dabbled with Gnus in the past
and now that I have a class where a newsgroup is used frequently on a
remote Unix host that I ssh into, I've been using it quite a bit :).

My question is, is there a way to sort all threads which I respond to
to the top of the summary?  I have this in my .gnus file:

;; Fetch old headers in threads with new messages.
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers t)

;; Track and score my messages and threads
(add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'gnus-score-followup-thread)
(add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'gnus-score-followup-article)

;; Sort ascending and by score
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '((not gnus-thread-sort-by-number)
                                   gnus-thread-sort-by-score))

It kind of does what I want.  What I would like, however, is for any
thread that contains a response from me, to be at the top of the
summary.  This seems to only put threads that I start at the top of
the summary.  I would like all the threads that I do anything to, to
be at the top.

Also, is there a limiting command that will limit to threads
containing a response from me as well as include the rest of the
articles in each thread?

Thanks in advance.

Read the docs more carefully. ;-)

,----[ C-h f gnus-thread-sort-by-score RET ]
| gnus-thread-sort-by-score is a compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
| (gnus-thread-sort-by-score H1 H2)
| 
| Sort threads by root article score.
|                 ^^^^

I think you want:

,----[ C-h f gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score RET ]
| gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score is a compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
| (gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score H1 H2)
| 
| Sort threads by the sum of all scores in the thread.
| Unscored articles will be counted as having a score of zero.

Bye,

Duly noted.

Yes that is exactly what I want!  Thank you very much.
