Hello,

(I haven't gotten any answer from this list so far, but let's try with
this one.)

The capabilities of `gnus-refer-article-method' are back-end-dependent.
In particular, `nnimap' is only able to locate articles that have been
posted to the current group (info "(gnus) Finding the Parent"), which is
quite limiting.

Would it be possible to use the registry to work around such
limitations?

Thanks,
Ludo'.
