By default, `gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function' is set to the
function `gnus-gather-threads-by-subject', which produces the behavior
you're seeing. Try setting it to `gnus-gather-threads-by-references' instead.




Gnus threads too many articles together

2023-10-24 Thread John Haman
Everyday I get an email from my bank saying what my account balance is. These 
are all different emails, but Gnus puts them all in one thread, I think because 
they have the same subject. If I go into my bank group and insert old articles, 
I get


O  Jan 24, 2023 Alliant Alerts  0  Account Balance Notification
O  Jan 24, 2023 Alliant Alerts  0   ╰─► 
O  Jan 25, 2023 Alliant Alerts  0 ╰─► 
O  Jan 27, 2023 Alliant Alerts  0   ╰─► 
O  Jan 30, 2023 Alliant Alerts  0 ╰─►

I don't know the most informative way to ask this question, but is there a way 
to make Gnus just thread distinct conversations together (like Outlook.)

I'd like to not disable threads entirely.
