When the user notices that the registry is wrong he will be able revert
to the file path method by calling the function with a prefix.

I also noticed that when the same message is in two different groups the
registry will only return the group where it first saw it, right? I
guess it would be quite difficult to extend the registry in a way so
that it can return all groups where a message exists?
