Hi,

can someone please give me a hint, why nnmail-split-fancy fails to correcly
sort mail when it comes to the `@' character? I have a rule like this:

	("from\\|to\\|cc" ".*jobs-opps@" "cmu-jobs")

Yet, when receiving a mail with his header

	To: jobs-opps@SHARON.ADM.cs.cmu.edu

gnus fails. If I remove the `@' it works.

Thanks,
Stefan.

I think Gnus does some additional massaging on the regexps in
`nnmail-split-fancy'.  One of the things it appears to do (I haven't
checked, though) is something like

  (concat "\\<" regexp "\\>")

As "@" isn't a word character (in most syntax tables, anyway :), it
can't possibly be at the end of a word, hence the match fails.

HTH,
