The Gnus manual was still referencing long-removed external
marks in section "Archiving Mails". Without external marks,
that section is almost pointless, so remove it completely.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Archiving Mail): Remove section.
(Top, Browsing the Web): Remove references to "Archiving
Mail". (Bug#63497)
Allow thread referral to use search whenever possible, displaying the
results in the current summary buffer if possible and a new nnselect
buffer if not.
* lisp/gnus/nnimap.el (nnimap-request-thread): Obsolete function.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-search.el (gnus-search-thread): Allow detailed
specification of how/where to search. Add found articles to the
current summary buffer if possible, or create a new ephemeral nnselect
group if not.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-refer-thread-use-search): Allow a list
of servers and groups to search.
(gnus-summary-refer-thread): Find thread-related articles by using a
backend-specific method, gnus-search, or retrieving nearby headers in
the current group.
* lisp/gnus/nnselect.el (nnselect-search-thread): Obsolete function.
(nnselect-request-thread): Allow thread referral from nnselect groups.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Finding the Parent): Document changes to thread
referral.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Customizing the IMAP Connection): Document
backend variable `nnimap-user' which was introduced with commit
5e68f8614f in 2011.
Add index entries for all backend variables. (bug#61837)
* lisp/gnus/nnmaildir.el (nnmaildir-open-server): The
'create-directory server parameter should have been removed entirely,
and supplanted by 'target-prefix. Remove check for old parameter.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Maildir): Delete mention from manual.
Fixes problem reported by Po Lu <luangruo@yahoo.com>.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Top, Starting Up, Article Treatment)
(The Gnus Diary Library, Searching, nnmairix): Refresh menus.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Gnus Versions): Update with some information
from https://www.gnus.org/history.html
(Ma Gnus): Explain that Gnus is now developed together with
Emacs. (Bug#58161)
"Emacsen" is either a less clear way of saying "old versions of
Emacs", or an implicit reference to XEmacs. We recommend against
using it in the FAQ. So use the more clear wording instead.

* doc/misc/gnus.texi (The problem of spam): Don't explain what
spam is; there is no need for that in 2022. Don't explain
limitations of obsolete software TMDA; it's website has stopped
working but seems to have been updated last in 2007.
(Thwarting Email Spam, Anti-Spam Basics)
(Spam Package Configuration Examples): Prefer "spam" to "UCE".
