48 Sets things up so that nnmail-split-fancy is used for mail
49 splitting, and defines the variable nnmail-split-fancy according with
50 group parameters.
52 If AUTO-UPDATE is non-nil (prefix argument accepted, if called
53 interactively), it makes sure nnmail-split-fancy is re-computed before
54 getting new mail, by adding gnus-group-split-update to
55 nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook.
57 A non-nil CATCH-ALL replaces the current value of
58 gnus-group-split-default-catch-all-group. This variable is only used
59 by gnus-group-split-update, and only when its CATCH-ALL argument is
60 nil. This argument may contain any fancy split, that will be added as
61 the last split in a `|' split produced by gnus-group-split-fancy,
62 unless overridden by any group marked as a catch-all group. Typical
63 uses are as simple as the name of a default mail group, but more
64 elaborate fancy splits may also be useful to split mail that doesn't
65 match any of the group-specified splitting rules. See
66 `gnus-group-split-fancy' for details."

106 \(: gnus-group-split-fancy GROUPS NO-CROSSPOST CATCH-ALL\)
108 GROUPS may be a regular expression or a list of group names, that will
109 be used to select candidate groups. If it is omitted or nil, all
110 existing groups are considered.
112 if NO-CROSSPOST is omitted or nil, a & split will be returned,
113 otherwise, a | split, that does not allow crossposting, will be
114 returned.
116 For each selected group, a SPLIT is composed like this: if SPLIT-SPEC
117 is specified, this split is returned as-is (unless it is nil: in this
118 case, the group is ignored). Otherwise, if TO-ADDRESS, TO-LIST and/or
119 EXTRA-ALIASES are specified, a regexp that matches any of them is
120 constructed (extra-aliases may be a list). Additionally, if
121 SPLIT-REGEXP is specified, the regexp will be extended so that it
122 matches this regexp too, and if SPLIT-EXCLUDE is specified, RESTRICT
123 clauses will be generated.
125 If CATCH-ALL is nil, no catch-all handling is performed, regardless of
126 catch-all marks in group parameters. Otherwise, if there is no
127 selected group whose SPLIT-REGEXP matches the empty string, nor is
128 there a selected group whose SPLIT-SPEC is 'catch-all, this fancy
129 split (say, a group name) will be appended to the returned SPLIT list,
130 as the last element of a '| SPLIT.
132 For example, given the following group parameters:
134 nnml:mail.bar:
135 \((to-address . \"bar@femail.com\")
136 (split-regexp . \".*@femail\\\\.com\"))
137 nnml:mail.foo:
138 \((to-list . \"foo@nowhere.gov\")
139 (extra-aliases \"foo@localhost\" \"foo-redist@home\")
140 (split-exclude \"bugs-foo\" \"rambling-foo\")
141 (admin-address . \"foo-request@nowhere.gov\"))
142 nnml:mail.others:
143 \((split-spec . catch-all))
145 Calling (gnus-group-split-fancy nil nil \"mail.others\") returns:
147 \(| (& (any \"\\\\(bar@femail\\\\.com\\\\|.*@femail\\\\.com\\\\)\"
148 \"mail.bar\")
149 (any \"\\\\(foo@nowhere\\\\.gov\\\\|foo@localhost\\\\|foo-redist@home\\\\)\"
