I think that changing key bindings isn't quite the right solution.
The spam functions in spam.el call gnus-summary-move-article directly,
so I'd have to do something funky with it.
I could use an advice at the beginning of gnus-summary-move-article to
see if I'm in a virtual group, and if so, to perform the recording you
describe, couldn't I?
This still leaves the question: How to do the actual moves once I exit
the group? That is, are there existing routines for moving articles
without entering a group? Or will I have to enter each group and do
the moves? Or write my own routines (shudder)?
Thanks again.
