This seemed like an interesting idea, but I haven't quite been able to get it to work. `fset' doesn't seem right, that's only for defining functions. Is that what you meant? I tried to advise `set', because I'd always thought all variable assignment eventually made use of set, but nothing happened when I tested a setq form with nnimap-split-fancy. Advising `setq' directly resulted in "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'", perhaps just because I'm doing the advice wrong: (defadvice setq (before hands-off-nnimap-splitting (&rest args)) "Try to figure out who's setting nnimap-split-fancy back to nil." (message "args: %s" args) ad-do-it ) (ad-activate 'setq) Anyone have any pointers here? Also, on the subject of the original problem, I see there's both these: gnus-sum.el:(defvar nnimap-split-fancy) nnimap.el:(defvoo nnimap-split-fancy nil I don't suppose it matters that there are two definitions for the same variable? I don't know enough about variable assignment to know if this is normal. Thanks, Eric
