message-expand-group doesn't grok "nnml:foo" groups

message-expand-group doesn't grok "nnml:foo" groups

[Kai Grossjohann]

Yo,

I'd like to use message-expand-group for my Gcc header, but the group
name is determined by going back to the first ":" (or ",", or " ")
then looking at the name.  This won't work for groups with names like
"nnml:foo", of course.

I have done a quick hack which sort of seems to work:

;; from message.el
(defun message-expand-group ()
  (let* ((b (save-excursion (skip-chars-backward "^, :\t\n") (point)))
                                                     ^
                               removed colon here ---'

What's the right way to do this?

Signature?  What signature?

	You could set the beginning to the larger of the points found by
your search with removed colon and the spot just after the ':' of the
header name.  Otherwise, things won't work well if someone has no space
after the first colon.
