The splitting methods ...

I wont argue the case anymore. it just seemed to me much more
natural. It still does. But its not me changing the SW and I do
appreciate the efforts Lars is going to so I wont make any more comments
after this post on it. You must understand that it not doing what I
expected (rightly or wrongly) caused me awful headaches with literally
thousands of emails being chucked around taking hours (but as I said
that was in conjunction with the bug with splitting everything).

Bottom line if it was new feature : if specifying a destination folder in
a group which belongs to a server then an unqualified group name for
that destination group should refer to a group local to that server. It
just makes sense. Want a specific OTHER server? Then qualify it.

Anyway, I think thats about it really ;)
