Hi,

I was having trouble with this too.  The following post describes the behaviour of the 'some and 't options and explains a lot.

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/browse_thread/thread/7c3cc8b63a45514c/4481cd0a00002013?lnk=st&q=gnus-fetch-old-headers&rnum=7&hl=en#4481cd0a00002013

A point to note is that (IMHO) A T will only show the complete thread of an article up to the post is was executed over (this caused me a lot of confusion when testing as I'd made assumptions about the A T command).  To test I ticked the original post in this thread and exited and came back into the group - hitting A T does nothing.  Marking any subsequent post in the thread and hitting A T gets all posts it knows about up until that point (the current last post will show you everything).

It could be argued that as "I KNOW" that the top level post has replies and I've marked them as read then hittting A T (or some other command) should redisplay them.  Whether this is implementable I don't know...certainly I'd like that behaviour.

Matt.
