Hello world,

I use nnmail-split-fancy to route incoming mail to any of a few dozen
(or more) folders. Very occasionally, and with no discernable pattern,
I find a message in the wrong folder. (I have no idea how often this
actually happens, but I only notice very occasionally.)

So, for example, I find a message in “acmecorp.sales” that’s clearly
part of a thread that I’ve been reading in “acmecorp.mac-users” (in
this case). I type “B q” and Gnus (v5.13 btw) says:

  This message would go to archive.2019-02, acmecorp.mac-users

Yeah. Except, it didn’t. It want to “acmecorp.sales”.

Any clue how to debug this?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

Platform: Gnus 5.4.56/GNU Emacs 19.34/SPARC Solaris 2.5

I tried switching to nnmail-split-fancy, yesterday, but I find the
debugging facilities, somewhat er... lacking...

Here are the last messages from the *Messages* buffer:
	Getting mail from the post office...
	Getting mail from po:sb...done
	Error in `nnmail-split-methods'; using `bogus' mail group
	Wrote /opt/home/sb/Mail/bogus/62
	Error in `nnmail-split-methods'; using `bogus' mail group
	Wrote /opt/home/sb/Mail/bogus/63
	Error in `nnmail-split-methods'; using `bogus' mail group
	Wrote /opt/home/sb/Mail/bogus/64
	Error in `nnmail-split-methods'; using `bogus' mail group
	Wrote /opt/home/sb/Mail/bogus/65
	nnml: Reading incoming mail...done

I'll keep on investigating, but as always, I appreciate pointers in
the right direction.

Thanx!
