Sorry to revive this old thread. The last time we discussed this I
thought that the let wrapping was the way to go, but in retrospect I'm
pretty sure I was wrong. Special-casing nnir in the hooks seems better.

I changed my mind when trying to incorporate article deletion in
nnir. The problem arises when deleting more than one article at a
time. Ordinarily all the articles in a summary buffer come from a single
group, but this isn't necessarily true in an nnir
buffer. gnus-summary-delete-article deletes all the articles in a batch
(no problem here since it just calls nnir-request-delete-article) but
then goes through the deleted articles one by one to update the
registry. So it's not easy to pass the original article group through
the let mechanism when different articles come from different groups.


WDYT?
