Yes, it's not a good method.  I think I'll use group parameters, as
suggested by Reiner.

Yes, I would like to use the long names, but I haven't found a
reliable way to capture that.  If anyone can help me obtain the
correct long name for a group, I'm all ears.  I kept getting the wrong
backend on things like drafts, article moves/copies, spooling, etc.

I can separate into a file, any suggestions for the name?

I will try to get nnimap storage of files to work, so that you can
store the registry in an article on a nnimap server.  That would be
useful.  I sort of left that project on the side for a little bit, but
it's time to get it working so people don't have to use rsync to
synchronize their registry.

I see the problem, it's nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent-ignore-groups,
which can be a single regexp.  I only treated it as a list.  Should be
OK now, I put a change in CVS.
