It is indeed used. gnus-registry-ignored-groups is used when deciding if a group name should be stored at all. There's also a registry-ignore group parameter that will do the same thing. gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups and nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent-ignore-groups are used when we get a group name, and decide if we should give it back. So the *ignored* groups never get in the registry, while the *unfollowed* groups are filtered out. This is actually a meaningful difference. Registry entries currently get deleted when there are no more groups associated with them. Thus, if you value the registry information about articles in a group, you'd use gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups. If you never want to hear about articles in a group, you'd use gnus-registry-ignored-groups. nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent-ignore-groups has an unfortunately confusing name. It is analogous to gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups. The above will *definitely* go in the manual. Sorry for the confusion! Ted
