Sorry, I got you wrong. See
,----[ C-h v gnus-fetch-old-headers RET ]
| gnus-fetch-old-headers is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is some
|
| Documentation:
| *Non-nil means that Gnus will try to build threads by grabbing old
| headers. If an unread article in the group refers to an older,
| already read (or just marked as read) article, the old article will
| not normally be displayed in the Summary buffer. If this variable is
| t, Gnus will attempt to grab the headers to the old articles, and
| thereby build complete threads. If it has the value `some', all old
| headers will be fetched but only enough headers to connect otherwise
| loose threads will be displayed. This variable can also be a number.
| In that case, no more than that number of old headers will be fetched.
| If it has the value `invisible', all old headers will be fetched, but
| none will be displayed.
|
| The server has to support NOV for any of this to work.
|
| This feature can seriously impact performance it ignores all
| locally cached header entries.
|
| You can customize this variable.
`----
So set it to t, if you want complete threads, or set it to 'some (that's
what I do), to get as many old articles as are needed to build a
complete sumthread.
If it's set to nil (the default) no old headers will be fetched.
So put either
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers t) ;; complete threads
or
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 'some) ;; complete subthreads
into your ~/.gnus.el.
Bye,
Tassilo
