I'm curious if anyone on the list can provide some tips on diagnosing a nnmail-split-methods problem. My nnmail-split-methods variable looks like this: (setq nnmail-split-methods '( ("mail.spam" "^X-Rocket-Spam: .*") ("mail.spam" "^X-Spam-Status: Yes.*") ("mail.virus" "^X-JDB-Virus-Warning:.*") ("mail.spam" "^X-YahooFilteredBulk: .*") ("mail.receipts" "^Subject: Return Receipt.*") ;; ("mail.mail" "") ) ) The ("mail.virus" "^X-JDB-Virus-Warning:.*") entry is new. I added it today to filter out the dozens of SoBig viruses that have been crashing into my inbox. (There's a procmail rule that adds it to the messages.) While the other classifiers typically work, this new 'virus' classifier does not. Sometimes, messages with the X-JDB-Virus-Warning header get dumped into mail.virus, as they should be. Other times, they miss that filter and make it into mail.mail. The /really/ strange part is that if I hit 'B r' to respool the misclassified messages in mail.mail, gnus correctly puts them in the virus folder. Any hints as to how to diagnose this would be appreciated. I'm running the latest gnus from CVS. best, --Joe -- Joseph Barillari -- http://barillari.org
