Ok.  I have split methods, but I find that the split methods do not
catch all cases, so I manually move some messages.  I want followups
to those manually-moved messages in the same group where the
manually-moved message is.

So the patch has two parts: The first part frobs the ~/.nnmail-cache
handling such that, in addition to the message id, the group name is
entered into the file.  The second part is a function which can use
used in nnmail-split-fancy.  It looks at the References header and
searches a group name for the message ids mentioned there.  If it
finds one, the group is returned, else nil is returned.

Well, actually the group name is only put in ~/.nnmail-cache if the
group comes from the mail-receiving mail backend, since mail splitting
only applies to the mail-receiving mail backend.  Hence, the group
name is without a server name, ie foo.bar rather than nnml:foo.bar.

I forgot what exactly the thread was about, but I think for the
purposes of the thread, you may wish to enter both the server name (ie
nnml:foo.bar) and the article number into the message id cache.

What would you like to do now?  What would you like me to do now?
