After running a respool on a buffer
`gnus-summary-respool-article'

I can't access nnmail-split-history.  It tells me there has been no
split.  Looking at the function definition, I see nothing indicating
why this should not work.  At least not to my untrained eye.

Anyone have a way to generate a split history when it is a manual
respooling of a group?

In my early days of gnus usage, when I first ran into the `respool'
command, I remember thinking it would put mail back on the spool. I
got used to the name but now wondering all over again why it's called
`respooling'.  Maybe the key to why split-history doesn't work.

One would expect respooling to put mail back on /var/spool/mail/me.
And resplit to rerun mail splitting rules.
