gnus-registry-marks; Any chance to search or filter for?

[physiculus]

i want to search or filter with the registry-marks i set. Is this
possible? I couldn't find a function for that in the gnus documentation.

I think you have to do it by hand. Something like this should give you
the registry-marked messages in the current group:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(delq nil
(mapcar
(lambda (id) (cdr (gnus-request-head id gnus-newsgroup-name)))
(cl-loop for key being the hash-keys of
(oref gnus-registry-db data)
using (hash-values v)
when (cdr (assoc 'mark v))
collect key)))
#+end_src

I'm using something like this in an :around advice of
`gnus-alter-articles-to-read-function' to automatically include all
registry marked messages in group summaries (similarly to ticked).

Thanks for this information!
Thats sad...
So i understand it correct, that is not clear, if it will be work in the
near future ?
Is there any other solution to tag mails in gnus?
With this i will be able, to filter for these tags or search for.

But i only have little hope after reading your infos ...

I suggest to make a bug report, please. It will definitely be cared
about, in some months or so at least.

What I'm hoping is that nnselect will (at some point) go into master, at
which point I can put in the gnus-search library, and things like this
will become easier.
