Yes, I guess the best way would be to first check the registry for the
group and do the additional mairix search only if the registry is not
loaded or does not know the location of the message. I don't want to
rely solely on the registry though, because of the limitations you
describe:

I guess the latter would be a problem for users with big archive groups
which they rarely open.

The article number won't be necessary as Tassilo already mentioned. The
lookup through gnus-read-header works just fine.
