Fair enough. In this case, I can walk up the tree manually. > J> - Issue2: Parent from different group not found. > > This is the intended behavior. If you want messages from different > groups to be found you need to set 'gnus-refer-thread-use-search to 't. I set 'gnus-refer-thread-use-search to 't but still encounter the issue.

See my below email header data. For this test, I initiated search from the "[Gmail]/All Mail", in which all the emails exist. These results are with 'gnus-refer-thread-use-search nil -- alarmingly, when the variable is t, "A T" does not find any articles at all.

Thanks for your help. It sounds like I'm the only one experiencing these issues, and I wonder if I may have incorrectly configured something. Please let me know if any suggestions come to mind, and I'll continue referencing the manual, emacswiki, and experimenting. Best regards.
