I'm willing to do this, especially if there's a global Gnus `gnus-fancy-split-simplified' variable to control it, which is t in new releases but missing in older releases. Users simply set `gnus-fancy-split-simplified' to nil and voila, they are back to the old split behavior. As I said, I'm basing my proposal on years of confusion about the current behavior. I think it will make Gnus better to bite the bullet and make simple regexes the default. Ted
