Move messages while offline using registry?

[kai.grossjohann@uni-duisburg.de (Kai Großjohann)]

Now that the registry is there, it could be used to implement moving
messages while offline.  First of all, you'd need a place to stash
the to-be-moved messages.  Maybe nndraft:moving, or something.
Secondly, you'd need a data structure giving, for each group, a list
of msgids of messages that are to be moved into that group.  And the
last piece in the puzzle is something that injects additional
articles into a group, along the lines of `G j', perhaps.

What do people think?

Hm.  It would also have some facily of marking the messages that are
still in nndraft:moving.  

Hm.  I wonder if it could be easier to implement a backend that stores
messages by their message id and that maintains a mapping between
numbers and ids.  Then the agent could be changed to use that backend.
Then articles could be moved while offline.  No, it doesn't really
sound easier.  Maybe it is better to stick with the old article
number approach.
