Well, according to the manual, this should work, but doesn't:


(setq nnmail-split-methods
   '(
     .
     .
     .
     ("mail.\\2"           "\\(To\\|CC\\):.*wmperry@\\(gnu\\).org")
     .
     .
     .
    )
)

If I send mail to wmperry@gnu.org, it _DOES_ get put into the mail.gnu
folder (if it already exists), but then I also get a bogus folder `mail.2'
shown in the groups folder, but the folder on disk was actually
'~/Mail/mail/\2', so of course I couldn't read it.

Whassup with that?

This is with the gnus in XEmacs 20.4 and with Pterodactyl Gnus 0.65

Anyone successfully doing this?  The manual gives explicit examples of this 
in `(gnus)Splitting Mail'

Is the article crossposted between these two groups?

Weird.  Hm.  Hm.  I've looked the code over, and I can't explain it.
Does it happen every time?
