[??] split into non-nnml

[??] split into non-nnml

[Colin Rafferty]

I would like to have a group in my `nnmail-split-fancy' that is not
nnml.  I have `gnus-secondary-select-methods' set to nnml, but I would
like to have one kind incoming mail split be a different method.

Could anyone either point me in the right direction, or tell me that I
am out of luck?  Thank you.

There is no way to do this, I'm afraid.  Hm.  It would require quite a
big rewrite to do something like this, I think.

Could we at least plan something like this for Quality Gnus (or what will qgnus-... be?)?

I have the following problem: My mail needs to be prefiltered (by mailagent in this case),
as I need to throw away some stuff (for disk space reasons, and I'm the postmaster).
(Daemon mode seems to work only half, by the way. More later, I hope.)

So it would be very nice to have nnmail-split-fancy group-local (or topic-local, or what),
with most groups just feeding into their own group (ehh?).

I'm not sure what you want, but if you mean that you have mailagent
write mail into the foo.spool and bar.spool files, and you want mail
from foo.spool to go in the foo group and mail from bar.spool to go
into the bar group, then I advise you to have a look at
nnmail-use-procmail and nnmail-procmail-directory and
nnmail-procmail-suffix.

hth,
