> How can I split mail over groups with different select methods?

There is no built-in functionality in Gnus for doing this.  One way to
do it is as follows:  Suppose you want to split incoming mail into the
`nnml+work' and `nnml+play' backends.  Then, you could do the
following:

  - Define the split methods to put all play mail into a special
    group, say nnml+work:play-incoming.
  - Write a function which does the following:
    . Enter group nnml+work:play-incoming
    . Temporarily set the split method to be appropriate for your play
      mail
    . Process-mark all articles
    . Call gnus-summary-respool-article on all articles, passing nil
      as the number of articles and the right select method as METHOD.
  - Call that function.

I think this would work.  It is a little inconvenient, though.
