Thanks. It helped me to see that gnus-thread-sort-functions' value was
actually ``(gnus-thread-sort-by-number)''. I did not understand why,
as I used the same lines as you. I restarted Debian, and it worked
with the option I wanted (i.e. most recent threads on top). Finally, I
agree that it is not a really good idea, but it worths it.

Yes. I think that I was not clear before. Sorry.

Yes. Thanks.

Ok. It is a pragmatical point of view that I appreciate.

precious help.
