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

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