Thank you Ted,
That sounds like a good idea.
I thought adding this to the group parameters was a nice way of making
it work, but maybe it's worth trying to patch Gnus and add some sort of
wrapper function that dispatches on the group name, i.e.:
(setq-default gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function
'keramida-gnus-gather-threads)
Then I could add regexp matches to one or two new variables like:
(defvar keramida-gnus-thread-function-by-group-map
'(("mail\\.foo\\.bar" . gnus-gather-threads-by-subject)
("mail\\..*" . gnus-gather-threads-by-references)
(t . gnus-gather-threads-by-references))
"List of (regexp . function) pairs to select a thread-gathering function.")
Then with `gnus-summary-exit-hook' I can restore the thread gathering
function to a `default' value. I think I'll give this a try. If it
seems to work nicely, I will post what I wrote here when I've tested it
a bit.
