incoming mail partially split into spools

incoming mail partially split into spools

[Jack Vinson]

I read through the info pages and it looks like I can do what I'm doing in
a more intelligent way.

Basically, I am using a mail processor (slocal, if it matters) to dump mail
from ding and a couple other high-volume lists into their own spools.  I'd
like to be really cool about this and have nnml read directly from those
spools into their corresponding groups.  However, I don't split all my
incoming mail this way, so I'd like the stuff that is left in
nnmail-spool-file to be split by nnmail-split-methods.

If I set nnmail-resplit-incoming, it looks like all my incoming mail will
be run through the split methods again.  I would like it if only those
messages grokked from the nnmail-spool-file were split via the methods.

If I were to use nnml with mail pre-sorted into group-specific spools, what
should these spools be named and where should they go.  (Am I thinking
about this backwards?)

If `nnmail-resplit-incoming' is nil, the group-specific spools won't
be split, but the `nnmail-spool-file' spool will be split according to
the split methods.
