Q: Getting all the parents to the current topic from the server

Q: Getting all the parents to the current topic from the server

[Passer By]

Ok sometimes people don't quote just right so i wish to read the
original parent, i would like to be able to fetch all parent articles
of the current article that are on my server. How might i do that in
one or two steps?


for example lets say the whole thread on the server was


-------
*Group*
-----------------------------------------------------
  14: rahed               ] gmail from gnus
       <  22: Leo                 >
           [  17: Brep                ]
               [  29: koocyton            ]
                   [  33: Ted Zlatanov        ]
       <  22: Radek               >
           [  40: Ted Zlatanov        ]
               [  38: Radek               ]
                   [  63: Ted Zlatanov        ]
------------------------------------------------------

but i had already read and forgot about the first 2 replys and so had


-------
*Group*
------------------------------------------------------


               [  29: koocyton            ] Re: gmail for gnus
                   [  33: Ted Zlatanov        ]
       <  22: Radek               >
           [  40: Ted Zlatanov        ]
               [  38: Radek               ]
                   [  63: Ted Zlatanov        ]

--------------------------------------------------------


I would like to run a command on article

  [  29: koocyton            ] Re: gmail for gnus

that would give me the original thread structure up to

14: rahed               ] gmail from gnus


Thanks

Look in the Article menu, there is a command for the parent, all referenced
articles, or the entire thread.  That might be a place to start.
