;;; Commentary:

;; This is the gnus-registry.el package, which works with all
;; backends, not just nnmail (e.g. NNTP).  The major issue is that it
;; doesn't go across backends, so for instance if an article is in
;; nnml:sys and you see a reference to it in nnimap splitting, the
;; article will end up in nnimap:sys

;; gnus-registry.el intercepts article respooling, moving, deleting,
;; and copying for all backends.  If it doesn't work correctly for
;; you, submit a bug report and I'll be glad to fix it.  It needs
;; documentation in the manual (also on my to-do list).

;; Put this in your startup file (~/.gnus.el for instance)

;; (setq gnus-registry-max-entries 2500
;;       gnus-registry-use-long-group-names t)

;; (gnus-registry-initialize)

;; Then use this in your fancy-split:

;; (: gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent)

;; TODO:

;; - get the correct group on spool actions

;; - articles that are spooled to a different backend should be handled
