Yes, really.  :-)

See the attached patch.  What do you think?

Hmm, I’m not convinced by ‘gnus-registry-install-nnregistry’ because:

  1. it does things under the hood;

  2. it /appends/ ‘nnregistry’ to ‘gnus-refer-article-method’, whereas
     it’s likely to perform better if it appears right after ‘current’.

What do you think?

Thanks,
