I'm not so happy with this approach.  I read an IMAP server via
nnimap and a POP server via mail-sources and nnml.  So suppose I read
a message on the IMAP server and move it to nnimap:INBOX.foo, then I
compose a followup.  The followup happens to contain the "wrong"
email message, and so replies go to the POP mailbox.  So
nnmail-split-fancy will put the reply into nnml:INBOX.foo which isn't
what I wanted.

If you say that this is a rather unusual setup, I'd agree.  So maybe
that's not so convincing an argument.  (Especially the part about the
"wrong" email address which leads to parts of the same thread coming
in via IMAP whereas other parts come in via POP.)

But there is another thing: I gather that originally you intended to
use the registry for other things, not just
gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent?  If this is the case, then
there might be a good reason for registering nntp articles, as well.

Opinions?
