David,

thanks for the idea.  I went from there and produced the attached
patch.  Please look it over.  It introduces symbolic returns of 'ham
or 'spam from spam-split if requested, uses the registry so it
doesn't recheck cross-posted articles, and generally behaves well
enough that I'm happy with it.  If it works for you, I can put it in
the CVS repository.

For Gnus maintainers: this patch produces VERY slow customization
buffers, both for groups/topics parameter autodetect-methods and for
the parameter variable gnus-autodetect-methods.  Can someone please
tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I may have to break out the spam.el customizations from the regular
`G c' customization buffer so I'm not slowing down Gnus in general.

Thanks
Ted
