nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table

[Michael R Cook]

Should these be the default:

  (modify-syntax-entry ?- "w" nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table)
  (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w" nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table)

?

Several of the mailing lists I'm on have ?- and ?_ in their names.

How about this one:

  (modify-syntax-entry ?. "w" nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table)

Does it make sense for (any "foo" "mail.foo") to match
"From: bob@x13.foo.cdx.dev.mot.com"?

Michael.

I don't think I'd like that.  Currently I can use

("from" "xemacs" ...)

to match "xemacs-beta".  With your change, it would no longer match.

I suggest _not_ touching the syntax table.  Any change will break
current splitting rules for lots of people.

Indeed.  The mail splitting syntax table is off limits for any
meddling.  (Except any meddling any particular user wants to do for
themselves.)
