Don't forget to copy to the list! Use "F" instead of "R" in Gnus. So this might be a little difficult. First, and most useful for you, you can see both the value and the docstring for Emacs variables by typing "C-h v", then the name of the variable, and RET. That will show you what you've got. If you haven't changed the defaults, then `gnus-show-threads' should be "t", and `gnus-sort-thread-functions' should be (gnus-thread-sort-by-number). In Gnus, that means you will see the newest messages at the *bottom* of the Summary buffer, and it also means that you won't see read messages at all. So when you say you're seeing two-year-old messages, I wonder if you're seeing them simply because they're unread? If they're read, they shouldn't show up at all. We still need more information!
