But > they are rather limited, only a short string (atom) per message. I think these flags are what most Gnus users would want. Annotations are nice but in my experience very few users care for them. I think that each backend should either provide its own flag storage system or defer to use the gnus-registry, which can track flags as extra data associated with the message-ID. That way we can implement the user flags gradually, starting in IMAP, while presenting a consistent flag storage system to the users. Ted
