registry marks in gnus 5.13

registry marks in gnus 5.13

[emacsnews]

I am using gnus 5.13 with emacs 23.0.60.1 in Ubuntu Intrepid
I see no registry marks in my summary buffer.
I have the following lines in my .gnus.el file:

;; gnus registry 
(setq gnus-registry-cache-file "~/.emacs.d/.gnus.registry.eld"
      gnus-registry-max-entries 25000
      gnus-registry-use-long-group-names t
      gnus-registry-install t)
(gnus-registry-initialize)

I have not changed the value of gnus-registry-marks which is:

((Important :char 105 :image "summary_important")
 (Work :char 119 :image "summary_work")
 (Personal :char 112 :image "summary_personal")
 (To-Do :char 116 :image "summary_todo")
 (Later :char 108 :image "summary_later"))

I tried all the default registry marks, and checked with the
gnus-registry-get-article-marks function that the marks have indeed been
allocated.

I suspect it has something to do with the :image property, but this is
not documented in the info files.
Can anyone help me?

:image is for future expansion, we'll associate an image with each mark
eventually (suggestions for images are welcome).  The :char is all that
matters for now.  You can use any character.  I use:

(setq gnus-registry-marks  
      '((Important
     :char ?ι
     :image "summary_important")
    (Work
     :char ?ω
     :image "summary_work")
    (Personal
     :char ?π
     :image "summary_personal")
    (To-Do
     :char ?τ
     :image "summary_todo")
    (Later
     :char ?λ
     :image "summary_later")))

I display marks like this:

gnus-summary-line-format is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
Its value is 
"%U%R %10&user-date; $%6uS [%6uM] %6k  %B %(%4L: %*%-25,25a%) %s \n"

(the "[%6uM]" part is what matters)

I set up the M user format like this:

(defalias 'gnus-user-format-function-M 'gnus-registry-user-format-function-M)

Let me know if you still have trouble.

Great.  Are there any other Gnus users who use the registry marks?  If
so, and there are no issues, I'll consider the marks done and write some
documentation.  If you have any comments or suggestions for
improvements, please let me know.

Thanks
