Oops... There was a copy of 5.8.8 in site-lisp. Problem corrected.

Actually, I came to a similar conclusion while tearing through the Gnus
manual for the umpteenth time. My problem remains, though. I have the
following in my .gnus.el:
(setq
nnmail-split-methods 'bbdb/gnus-split-method
bbdb/gnus-split-nomatch-function 'gnus-group-split
)
Given that setup (taken pretty much straight from the BBDB manual), where
would I insert the rule you gave? In a nutshell, I'd like the following
split functions to be called in order:
1: bbdb/gnus-split-method
2: The matching function you described above
3: gnus-group-split
I apologize for seeming dim, but my Gnus config consists largely of stuff
I've copied-and-pasted from postings to this list, web sites, etc. I
understand the mechanics well enough to modify information I find, but not
quite well enough yet to start generating stuff on my own. In the mean
time, I'm having a blast trying! I tend to get myself in over my head, but
that's half the fun for me. :)
