I'd like to write a function that I could call from, say, Org. It should take
a Message-Id, and create an ephemeral group containing that one message, found
by the same mechanism that uses gnus-refer-article-method -- so that it can
find the message wherever it might be. And if it truly can't find the
message, it should ding and say that.
What I have now is a half solution, as it inserts the message into my INBOX
summary:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-goto-article (message-id)
(gnus-summary-read-group "INBOX" nil t)
(gnus-summary-refer-article message-id))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks,
John

John, did you see
[[gnus:nntp%2BLocalNNTP:gmane.emacs.gnus.general#m2r53hslyd.fsf@pluto.luannocracy.com][this
article]]?

That seems like a very useful function. Dave, can your version (or
whatever works for the most cases) go into Gnus if there's nothing
already in there?
Thanks
Ted

Sure, feel free to take it... but it's still only a half-solution.
If Gnus would let me enter an empty group, it would be a full solution
pretty quickly, but I don't know how to code around Gnus' limitations in
that respect
