Re: gnus-registry question

Ted,

From gnus/lisp/ChangeLog:

2003-05-09  Teodor Zlatanov  <tzz@lifelogs.com>

	* gnus.el (gnus-variable-list): removed gnus-registry-alist and
	gnus-registry-headers-alist from the list
	(gnus-registry-headers-alist): removed
	(registry-ignore): new parameter, with accompanying
	gnus-registry-ignored-groups global variable

gnus-registry-ignored-groups was added to gnus.el but later removed,
probably obsoleted by gnus-registry-unfollowed-groups.

Well, why my setting works is probably because gnus registry respects:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent-ignore-groups '("Archive" "spam"))

Which is nice.
