;;; Commentary:

;; This is the gnus-registry.el package, which works with all
;; Gnus backends, not just nnmail.  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
;; better documentation in the manual (also on my to-do list).

;; If you want to track recipients (and you should to make the
;; gnus-registry splitting work better), you need the To and Cc
;; headers collected by Gnus.  Note that in more recent Gnus versions
;; this is already the case: look at `gnus-extra-headers' to be sure.

;; ;;; you may also want Gcc Newsgroups Keywords X-Face
;; (add-to-list 'gnus-extra-headers 'To)
;; (add-to-list 'gnus-extra-headers 'Cc)
;; (setq nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers)

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

;; (setq gnus-registry-max-entries 2500
;;       gnus-registry-track-extra '(sender subject recipient))

;; (gnus-registry-initialize)

;; Then use this in your fancy-split:

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

;; You should also consider using the nnregistry backend to look up
;; articles.  See the Gnus manual for more information.

;; Finally, you can put %uM in your summary line format to show the
;; registry marks if you do this:

;; show the marks as single characters (see the :char property in
;; `gnus-registry-marks'):
;; (defalias 'gnus-user-format-function-M 'gnus-registry-article-marks-to-chars)

;; show the marks by name (see `gnus-registry-marks'):
;; (defalias 'gnus-user-format-function-M 'gnus-registry-article-marks-to-names)

;; TODO:

;; - get the correct group on spool actions

;; - articles that are spooled to a different backend should be moved
;;   after splitting
