Subject: Patch Series: Warping via the registry
Date: Sun,  9 Oct 2011 00:11:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1318133487-45386-1-git-send-email-dave@boostpro.com> (raw)

This patch series implements the ability to warp to a message via
information stored in the Gnus registry.  From a user's point-of-view,
this means that articles brought in from other groups by
gnus-*-refer-* can be used as a jumping-off-point for further
references.  For example, I am using this code to jump to a given
message:

(defun gnus-goto-article (message-id)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (erase-buffer)
    ;; Insert dummy article
    (insert (format "From nobody Tue Sep 13 22:05:34 2011\n\n"))
    (gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group
     message-id
     `(nndoc ,message-id
             (nndoc-address ,(current-buffer))
             (nndoc-article-type mbox))
     :activate
     (cons (current-buffer) gnus-current-window-configuration)
     (not :request-only)
     '(-1) ; :select-articles
     (not :parameters)
     0     ; :number
     )
    (gnus-summary-refer-article message-id)
    ))

Before applying this patch series, I could not get to the whole thread
with `A T' because Gnus was unable to warp to the article in its
original group.

How it works
------------

Each time a message is fetched from a backend, its group is noted in
the registry.  Warping now consults the backend of the current group,
and if that fails, tries warping to the article in each group stored
for it in the registry until one succeeds.

Note
----

Patch 6/6 is only to be applied after accepting the patch attached to
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9691.  If you don't
accept that patch, you can still apply the other 5 patches.
