fancy splitting

fancy splitting

[Karl Eichwalder]

Documentation on this issue is not that userfriendly; I still cannot
see how it's possible to do the right thing with mails from lists; the
dash in names seems to hurt.  This does not work:

(eval-after-load "nnmail"
  '(modify-syntax-entry ?- "w" nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table))
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(|
	;; List-Post: <mailto:emacs-devel@gnu.org>
        ;; should end in "nnml:list.emacs-devel"
	("List-Post" "mailto:\\b\\(\\w+\\)@.*" "list.\\1")
	;; X-BeenThere: emacs-devel@gnu.org
        ;; should end in "nnml:list.emacs-devel"
	("X-BeenThere" "\\b\\(\\w+\\)@.*" "list.\\1")
	"mail.rest"))

I think the dashes probably don't have anything to do with it.  The
problem is that fancy mail splitting wraps everything in \b ... \b,
which means that @.* will fail.
