I'm interested. I composed a reply then machine crashed. <sigh>

I glanced at the registry and it seems separating out the parent
threading functions from what directories the registry actually
watches might be desirable.  

My thinking there is I'd want to watch every single folder for
labeling.It doesn't matter much to me since I don't split much within
gnus.

Rough outline of what needs to be done:
   insert label(s) in registry
   allow display of labels outside of *Summary*
   label commands for *Summary*/*Article*
   allow display of labels outside of *Summary*
   allow display of labels in *Summary*


It looks like the registry cache's enough to make the display of
labels straight from the registry easy.  Would the searching of the
registry for all things having a "label" data be prohibitive?

Doing all that seems to be easier than shoving marks into the backend
and seems to have the benfit of not having to make sure labels get
reassociated with articles across folders.  Certainly better than my
bookmark style ideas ;)
