While I appreciate having `B t' (gnus-summary-respool-trace) for
testing changes to nnmail-split-methods, what I really need is for
that command to tell me which rule matched to produce the intended
destination group, much as `V t' (gnus-score-find-trace) tells me what
rule in which scorefile induced what scoring modification. I'd like
to see this when I find a message that was split erroneously, so I can
modify the split methods to get it right.
How hard would it be to convince `B t' to announce the split rule?

I've had a look over the code (look for `nnmail-split-trace' in
nnmail.el), and it doesn't look trivial. For advanced splits, for
instance, basically everything matches. It's all one big rule.
(setq
nnmail-split-fancy
'(| ("sender" "4ad recording artists list" "4ad")
...))
Of course, one could be creative and say that the top-level `|'
"doesn't count", but there might not be a `|' at the top.

How about always printing the bottom-most split rule? Well, err.
The leaves are just group names, these are probably not so
interesting. So you'd print the bottom-most non-leaf.

I've now done something similar to that, because I didn't want to
maintain a stack. :-) Seems to give better output than before.
