nnmail-split-fancy

[Alok G. Singh]

The spam system at work adds the following regexp to the subject to identify spam: "{Spam\\?}". I verified this regexp using regexp-builder in the summary buffer. 

When I try and add a rule to nnmail-split-fancy 
          (subject "{Spam\\?}" "mail.spam")
it does not send mails with {Spam?} in their subjects to mail.spam. A couple of sample subject headers are below.

Subject: {Spam?} This stock has amazing ...
Subject: {Spam?}

Is it something wrong in the regexp or something to do with nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words ?

What is your value of nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words ?

If it's t, the above could work, but definitely not with
nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words set to nil.

Yes, that worked. It also fixed some other rules as well :) Thank you.

I actually use concat in the way similar to the following:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      `(| ("from" ,(concat "my " "regexp") "MyGroup")
	  (: spam-split)
	  "mail.misc"))

Maybe we need to improve the nnmail code if we really want to
use it without backquotes.

[Sebastian Luque]

Hello,

Can somebody please clarify why using concat to provide a regexp in the
following nnmail-split-fancy is not allowed?  For example:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| ("from" (concat "my " "regexp") "MyGroup")
	  (: spam-split)
	  "mail.misc"))

does not work, and would send all messages to the bogus group, but without
using concat:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| ("from" "my regexp" "MyGroup")
	  (: spam-split)
	  "mail.misc"))

is fine.  The reason I want to use concat is to simplify maintenance of
the regexps in several lines.

Thanks in advance,

I've looked over the code, and I can't see anything weird about it:

     ;; Builtin : operation.
     ((eq (car split) ':)
      (nnmail-split-it (save-excursion (eval (cdr split)))))

Anyone?

Lars-

I upgraded to 0.91 and it seems to make the problem worse.  Now the
nnmail-split-fancy sends everything to "other" even if it should have
a match _before_ the BBDB split.

Could you try upgrading to 0.90 and see whether this works better
there?
