Respooling into the same method is the only way to make a split-method change affect existing mail messages, but it doesn't really do what i want. Commonly i add a new split-method when i realize that the traffic from some list or whatever is getting high. Then i want to move all the messages from my misc group into the new group. If I simply respool my entire misc directory, all my ticks and marks are lost, all the articles show up as unread, and a lot of extra work is done. What i really want to happen is for the split-method functions to be reapplied, and if the result doesn't match the existing Xref header, only then should the article be moved. And any marks should move with the article. This doesn't seem too hard to get right, and i think it's pretty important for making split-methods more usable. greg
