First, note my clever spelling of "gnus" in
"guns-registry-track-extra". That was fun to find.

Yes, thanks. I finally got around to tracking this down. I added a new
split rule that *never* worked and that made it a lot easier to debug.

In this case, it turned out that gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent
was splitting on subject and the subject was generic enough to have
already been dropped in my "misc" bucket. Consequently, my new rule
never fired.

I expect that explains my other incorrect splits as well.

I've removed "subject" from track-extra for the time being and I'll
see how that goes. On the one hand, it was sometimes handy to have
subject in the list, but I think the false splits probably outweigh
that convenience.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
