I can't seem to find any documentation mentioning what kind of data is
available to a function called with a fancy-split rule. I'd like to
do some special sorting on incoming messages, with the form like:
(: my-gnus-filter "mail.junk")
I'm passing in the group which will be returned in certain cases.
Does my function have access to the whole message?
can I:
(save-restriction
(widen)
...
I guess on the same topic, does gnus have functions for extracting
particular headers from a message for use in custom user functions?
Thanks for the help,

Note the following paragraph in the documentation for
nnmail-split-methods:
/----
| The second element can also be a function. In that case, it will be
| called narrowed to the headers with the first element of the rule as
| the argument. It should return a non-nil value if it thinks that the
| mail belongs in that group.
\----
Sadly, it's not made explicit that this also applies to
nnmail-split-fancy.
But the documentation for nnmail-split-fancy (the variable) does
mention that functions called via `:' are called ``in a buffer
containing the message headers''.

Yes, this has been suggested a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, I just noticed that right after I posted my original
question. (oops!)

Thanks, this is just what I was looking for.
