[rgnus feature request] Customization for nnmail-split-methods

[Danny Siu]

Sorry if this is already in the rguns todo list.  Can 'nnmail-split-methods'
be added into the custom mode?

I think 'nnmail-split-methods' is one of the most attractive feature in gnus,
and I think many people like to use it but don't know how (especially for
those who are new in lisp and regexp).  Many of my friends are in that
catagory; they simply want to split incoming mail by subject and senders but
don't know how to go about it.

'nnmail-split-methods' works wonderfully well once I have set it up with a
long and complicated defun which splits tons of my incoming mails into 20~
mailboxes.  I alter it quite often and found that it is very troublesome to
test the correctness of the lisp and regexp of it.

Anyone care to share their 'nnmail-split-methods'?  :-)

Well, the custom code may be totally rewritten some time in the future
(right, Per?), so writing new stuff to use the current custom code is
slightly iffy.

"Some time in the future" is vague enough for me, so I'd go along with
it.
