26 ;; This is the gnus-registry.el package, which works with all
27 ;; backends, not just nnmail (e.g. NNTP). The major issue is that it
28 ;; doesn't go across backends, so for instance if an article is in
29 ;; nnml:sys and you see a reference to it in nnimap splitting, the
30 ;; article will end up in nnimap:sys
32 ;; gnus-registry.el intercepts article respooling, moving, deleting,
33 ;; and copying for all backends. If it doesn't work correctly for
34 ;; you, submit a bug report and I'll be glad to fix it. It needs
35 ;; documentation in the manual (also on my to-do list).
37 ;; Put this in your startup file (~/.gnus.el for instance)
39 ;; (setq gnus-registry-max-entries 2500
40 ;; gnus-registry-use-long-group-names t)
42 ;; (gnus-registry-initialize)
44 ;; Then use this in your fancy-split:
46 ;; (: gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent)
50 ;; - get the correct group on spool actions
52 ;; - articles that are spooled to a different backend should be handled
