gnus error finding parent article from summary mode

Question

Im having trouble with finding the parent article of a sent message in "Summary-mode".

I press ^ in the sent folder, summary mode, which is bound to the function "gnus-summary-refere-parent-article". It tells me "No reference in article x" or "cant find article some-cryptic-id".

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advnace for your kind help and time.

If you press t from the summary buffer to display the whole message headers, you should see a References: header that contains one or more messages IDs.

It is possible that

• either the message does not contain References
• or the referenced message does not exist anymore in the server when Gnus tries to fetch it to show it to you
