It just assumes the date is the Eze> same as the date it was started. That's obvious. When Gnus starts, the code in ~/.gnus is being run. The code says `set the split method according to the date right now'. That is, the nnmail-split-methods variable already contains 1998-09-02 or whatever the date is. I don't know how to make Gnus eval code that sets nnmail-split-methods anew. You could use midnight.el, though, to eval the (setq nnmail-split-methods ...) every day at midnight. kai -- OOP: object oriented programming; OOPS: object oriented mistakes
