Because the original writer of "sounds like a recipe for confusion" is
understanding the reader where you Andreas, with respect, are not.

This is not about the code. It's about the people using the code. You
clearly get the former. Maybe not so much the latter when they are less
knowledgeable about this stuff than you.

If that's really the case. If the whole point of
nnmail-split-fancy-table is to ensure no confusion in this area, then
it's failing to achieve its point with what I'm guessing is a reasonable
subset of those who could suffer from said confusion.

But that's OK. That's what documentation is for :-)
