Gah... how did this get bogged down? I think I was originally trying to
abuse warnings.el as a general logging library, and eventually realized
that that simply wasn't going to work, and that sort of took the wind
out of my sails. But the patch here is probably a fine idea no matter
what.

I know you had more general concerns about the verbosity of Gnus'
message output, and that should still be addressed at some point, but my
head is very much out of this particular problem space. I guess I'd like
to apply this patch and close this bug, and come back to the problem
later, with a different solution.

WDYT?

Eric
