Hi,
I'm trying to look up articles by message-Id, e.g. from Org links.
Here's what I'm using today:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-goto-article (message-id)
(let ((nnir-imap-default-search-key "imap"))
(gnus-group-make-nnir-group
nil
`((query . ,(concat "header message-id " message-id))
(criteria . "")
(server . "nnimap:BoostPro") )))
(gnus-summary-refer-article message-id))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is decent, but it would be so much cooler if I could use
gnus-refer-article-method to look for messages that might be in
newsgroups, gmane, google, etc.
So I figured I'd just create an empty ephemeral group and then
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(gnus-summary-refer-article "<some-message-id>")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
...which I have proved to myself works in an arbitrary group. But I
can't figure out how to create an empty ephemeral group.
Hints?
TIA,

Solved:
(defun gnus-goto-article (message-id)
(gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group
message-id
`(nneething ,temporary-file-directory) t nil nil nil nil 0)
(gnus-summary-refer-article message-id))
This is kind of a nasty hack, but it works. Would love to dispense with
the nneething group...
