But maybe Ted > should say something about it. The registry basically stores data that would normally go into the newrs.eld file, into ~/.gnus.registry.eld. You have to enable and load the gnus-registry.el package, though. Also, a missing/corrupted registry would not impact anything, except send articles to the default/wrong mailbox with parent splitting, or register messages as spam or ham incorrectly or not at all. So synchronization of the registry, as it's used now and as it will be used in my plans, is not necessary to preserve the state of Gnus. Ted
