The registry is a place where we record interesting things (group,
subject, sender, recipients, registry marks) about articles, keyed by
the message ID. But it's also a general key-val store with some
indexing. For Lars' point, the registry is an opportunistic cache that
remember where you've seen a message-ID (server name and group name) and
where it's been split before.

Simply call it like this (for message-ID "34"):
(gnus-registry-get-id-key "34" 'group)
(gnus-registry-get-id-key "34" 'subject)
gnus-registry.el has most of the install info at the beginning if you
want to try it out.
