Gnus splitting is powerful enough, but happens at the wrong time. I like having my mail be sorted at arrival time, not when I decide to read it or at some arbitrary interval. Under Gnusae previous to the last few pgnus, one can accomplish this with: (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/Mail/incoming" nnmail-use-procmail t nnmail-procmail-suffix "") As I have nnml in my gnus-secondary-select-methods, Gnus simply slurps mail from each file in ~/Mail/incoming into the nnml group of the same name as that file. If I add a procmail rule that will cause the creation of a new file in that directory, Gnus will create the new group. This is all wonderful. In fact, I consider it essential. I have been entirely unable to get this to work with the new mail-source stuff. I can send more details of its failure if they are desired, but it seems that this option was just not accounted for. Am I missing something, is there an upcoming fix, or what? -Justin
