Well, don't forget that nnimap is buggy with respooling - I always
see nil as the respool result, no matter what.  I will leave things
the way they are for now, and fix any obvious bugs but generally I'll
leave further work in this direction until No Gnus.

The respooling should invoke the splitting functions, thus
resplitting the article :)

I didn't see this until I had done quite a bit of work on spam.el
in a different direction, so I'm afraid your patch won't work
cleanly.  Can you check your patch against the mega-patch I'll be
posting later tonight and see if there are any conflicts?  Thanks!
