Hello,

Mail messages with To: or Cc: lists containing a large number of
recipients (10 or more) makes Gnus hang trying to match split rules
(maybe score files too?).

I seem to remember a long while back that this was resolved by having
Gnus only look at the first x number of bytes, something like 1000
bytes.

Is there anything else I can to do speed this process?  Sometimes Gnus
could hang for hours, if I don't stop it and edit the crash file.

I have about 150 nnmail-split-fancy rules (OR'ed together), most
looking like:

    (any "ipfilter\\(\\+.*\\)?@\\(.+\\.\\)*coombs\\.anu\\.edu\\.au" "list.ipfilter")

I also have over 1000 score rules, most looking like one of these:

    ("@\\(.+\\.\\)*freebsd\\.\\(org\\|com\\)" nil nil r)
    ("Ken.*Thompson\\|ken\\(\\+.*\\)?@\\(.+\\.\\)*bell-labs\\.com" nil nil r)
    ("ufs\\|unix[ -]*file[ -]*system" nil nil r)

BTW, I tried searching the list archive with no success.  Pointers to
appropriate matches would also be appreciated.

Sorry about the fake From: line, trying to avoid more spam... :)

Thanks.
