I haven't seen this piece yet. Interesting.

And install Gnus and Emacs too ;-) Of course the default setup not
necessarily provide for what we are talking about. But it doesn't either
way and the registry looks as a cleaner solution (however, I am not sure
yet how to set it up on several machines in parallel) then noting Gcc
during sending. There is no simple solution to this. By simple I mean
"available without touching anything ousite org-mode". Theoretically
org-mode could implement a function that searches through Gnus' database
but thats against the DRY principle since such code itself exists in
Gnus it just needs to be configured.
