(set-register "z" "[complex html I want to be able to insert into org-
mime-htmlize'd emails]")


does seems to fail in a couple of ways.

I've seen `registerv-make` too, and that doesn't seem to do the trick.

Can anyone give me a simple template to have registers set to single-
or multi-line-strings during init?

(for bonus points, how about a kmacro? I have a certain sequence for
interacting with gnus to process hundreds of emails a day that I'd
love to not have to redefine every session)

I.e. interactive registers are identified by *characters* rather than
strings.

> how about a kmacro

First name the last macro defined with `M-x kmacro-name-last-macro`
then go to your config file and run `M-x insert-kbd-maco <ret> name
<ret>`.

Now you should be able to invoke the macro with `M-x` and whatever you
named it.
