So no quote here?

My fancy mail spam splitting is broken too. I cant figure out if its the
group paremeters not interacting with spam-split or not. I did a M V c
in my INBOX which clears all marks (so they are "unseen" : should the
mail then be treated for spam processing again?) If not, what group
parameter do I need to set? I set the obvious one "Spam Autodetection".

Q1 : How do I mark or unmark my mail so its considered for spam checks
once again? Currently nothing is being processed using the split vars
used below. I have    (setq spam-use-spamassassin t) and the
spam-initialize done.

My fancy split settings are set as

   (setq nnimap-split-inbox '("INBOX"))
   (setq nnimap-split-fancy '(| (: spam-split) "INBOX"))

   (setq nnmail-split-inbox '("INBOX"))
   (setq nnmail-split-fancy '(| (: spam-split) "SYS-INBOX"))

And I'm not getting sequencep errors with this - but possibly since its
not actually doing any splitting at the moment. It all used to work for
me but I wonder if that was more by luck than judgement now.  Having
reset the groups I dont seem to have the magic combo of group parameters
and split variables once more ;( I know my old settings worked as I
shared them with a few people and got them up and running.

So, if anyone is using spam-split could you please report your group
settings and your split variables? It would  be a great help.
