I have problems with nnmail-split-fancy. The symptom is that some
articles are split to wrong groups when I retreive them (`g'), but correctly
respooled with `B r'. After tracking down a bit, I notice that when the
articles are retreived and put in the *nntpd* buffer, the buffer doesn't
contain all headers (in my particular case, x-from-line) so my split method
fails. However, once they are displayed, they've got it and I can respool them
normally. So I have three questions:
* how is it that some headers are missing in *nntpd* ?
* are there any variables that control this behavior ?
* if yes, is it really a Good Thing that they influence internal processing ?

Well, I think X-From-Line is a special case, because that's the
envelope from header (shows up as the infamous "From " line in the
incoming files). So maybe you should split on both "From " and
"X-From-Line:"?

Actually, I use x-from-line only as a last ressort to split mailing
lists which I couldn't detect otherwise. But the real question is that since
you have the possibility to view those headers in the article buffer (and thus
respooling based on them), I think they should be seen also when the initial
splitting occurs.

Yes, but the renaming is only a last resort :-)
Have you tried to split on "From "? How did it turn out?

Kai, x-from-line is the Gnus way of saying "From ". (And Real Cool
people spell "From " as From_ anyway.)

Well, I had already thought that From_ line doesn't fit the usual
colon header syntax and that it therefore had to be changed. Question
is, when does that happen? Before nnmail-split-methods is run or
after?

It used to be that it was converted *after* nnmail-split-methods are
run, but I haven't checked recently. I clearly recall being
frustrated about not being able to match From_ with nnmail-split-fancy
because it insisted on adding the `:' stuff to the headers, while not
providing for the From_ anomaly.
