Subject: getting article numbers from message-ids?
Date: Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:15:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lhtfk9qo.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)

I'm starting with a list of org-gnus links, and trying to create an
ephemeral group (via nnir) displaying those messages. I think
everything's working, except that what I've got is each message's
Message-ID, and nnir wants article numbers:

Incoming: "nnimap+Server:group-name#A9ED-1B41EF8FC63E@example-server.fr"

Outgoing: ["group-name" ARTICLE_NUMBER 100]

I could, for each message link, use org-gnus-open to actually visit the
message in its home group and get the article with
`gnus-summary-article-number', but I'm hoping there's a more direct way.

These message could be coming from any backend -- I can't know for sure
if they'll be imap, or maildir, or what have you.

Can the registry be used to save information like this? It would be nice
to look first in the registry, which I assume would be quickest, and
then fall back to something more manual and expensive.

Anyway, any tips would be much appreciated!

Eric
