I think this would be a nice feature, but don't know if it's a
limitation of gnus or imap.

Often I set up a splitting method, after I have started to receive
mail for a list/job/person in sufficient quantity to justify
this. When I used nnfolders, I then marked the content of my inbox and
respooled (B r) it, putting the already received messages in the new group,
where future mail would also be split to.

Can someone either suggest another way to do this sort of thing, or
perhaps tell me why it can't be done?
