No Gnus v0.11: splitting, error: encode-coding-string(nil utf-7-imap)

No Gnus v0.11: splitting, error: encode-coding-string(nil utf-7-imap)

[Gijs Hillenius]

This is with No Gnus v0.11 gotten (gitted?) on October 19th,


Just now noticed that five messages in the INBOX did not get splitted to
their INBOX.folders. I use splitting with a hook to bbdb like so

,----
| (setq nnimap-split-fancy
|       '(| (: gnus-folder-per-bbdb)
|       ("From" "googlealerts.*" "INBOX.google-alerts") 
|       and more lines like the above
`----



Marking the unsplitted messages and hitting 'B r' asks me:

Backend to use when respooling (default nnimap):

Now, this value 'nnimap' is correct, but hitting tab here ^ prints [no
match]. And if I hit 'enter' (thus telling it to use the nnimap backend)
I get this error:

I think for `B r' to work, you have to use nnmail-split-methods/fancy,
because that's what it's using.

What's the value of those values?

The documentation says:

,----
| `nnimap-split-fancy'
|      Uses the same syntax as `nnmail-split-fancy'.
`----

which led me to expect 'B r' to work :-)

I'd love to answer this, but I need to know what it is you're asking.

It uses the same syntax, but `B r' doesn't use that variable..

Er...  me too.  :-)

Oh, I meant -- what's the value of the nnmail-split-* variables...
