some of my mailing lists have rather extended to lines.
Does Gnus mail sorting really work for the whole To: header
or just the first line of it ?


for example



To: "'Tom Christiansen'" <tchrist@jhereg.perl.com>,
        Dick Hardt
         <dickh@ActiveState.com>,
        "Perl-Win32-Users (E-mail)"
         <perl-win32-users@ActiveState.com>

also, should sorting on a supposedly invariant header line work, eg

        ("PERL32"     "^X-Info: http://www.ActiveWare.com")

here'sthe code i'm using now.

      ~squid.

;; use gnus to browse mail
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "private")))

;; sort mail into groups
(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(("red-hat.general"   "^Resent-From:.*redhat-list@redhat.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^To: Perl-Win32-Users Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^To: Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^To: perl-win32@ActiveState.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^To: Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveState.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^To: Perl-Win32-Users <Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare.com>")
        ("PERL32"     "^To: Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveState.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^Cc: Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveState.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^Cc: Perl-Win32-Users <Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare.com>")
        ("PERL32"     "^Cc: Perl-Win32-Users Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare.com")
;;      ("PERL32"     "^To: "'Dick Hardt'" <Dick_Hardt@ActiveState.com>")
        ("PERL32"     "^X-Info: http://www.ActiveWare.com")
        ("PERL32"     "^X-From-Line: null@ActiveWare.com")
;;      ("PERL32"     "^X-ListMember: squid@panix.com [Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveState.com]")

        ("other" "")))


stil misses a lot of PERL32 posts.

The whole, you just need to change e.g.

>         ("PERL32"     "^To: Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare.com")

to

>         ("PERL32"     "^To:.*Perl-Win32-Users@ActiveWare\\.com")

The second string is a regular expression, and yours will only catch
mails sent to Perl-Win32-Users as the first thing.  You should probably
also consider Cc's, Bcc's etc, which you can only do by switching on the
X-From-Line for the mailing list (which is likely to always be the same.)

Do you mean "mail splitting"?  If so; it works for the entire header.
