I don't know, sorry.

NW> So now I guess the question is, who decided to put nnml:misc in there?

It was the registry.  It hooks into each backend's functionality (spool,
move, copy) and also notices new articles in every group you visit.  I
don't know how and when this happened, though.

As I mentioned in another message, I think giving up on multiple matches
is not ideal.  We can do better.  Maybe the registry could ask the user
in such cases for the right strategy?
