"Error in spam-stat-split-fancy"

[Bjorn Wiren]

Since I started using spam-stat-split-fancy I keep getting

      Error in spam-stat-split-fancy: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

each time I scan for new messages. I suppose it means spam-stat-split-fancy
will not do anything useful for me :-(

Setting `debug-on-error' to `t' doesn't give anything,

Sometimes (less frequently, maybe unrelated?) I also see

     Generating summary...
     Warning: reference to free variable mark
     Warning: reference to free variable uncached
     Warning: reference to free variable score
     Warning: reference to free variable default-high
     Warning: reference to free variable default-low

but that is maybe harmless? At least I haven't noticed any problems
due to this.

I'm on Oort 0.13 + Xemacs 21.4.11.

I started out with `customize spam', among other things selecting
`gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-stat'. Is that what you mean by `use
spam-stat through the spam.el interface'? Later, I discovered that
there was a `customize spam-stat' too, so maybe I'm doing a little of
both? I have this in ~/.xemacs/custom.el now:

 '(gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents (quote (("nnml:spam" gnus-group-spam-classification-spam))))
 '(spam-stat-install-hooks t)
 '(spam-use-stat t)
 '(gnus-spam-process-newsgroups (quote (("nnml:spam" (gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-stat)))))
 '(gnus-ham-process-destinations (quote (("spam" "nnml:mail.misc"))))
 '(gnus-spam-process-destinations (quote (("misc" "nnml:spam")))))

and this in ~/.gnus:

(require 'spam)
(require 'spam-stat)
(spam-stat-load)

as well as (: spam-stat-split-fancy) in nnmail-split-fancy. Does it
look sane?

Anyway, things seem to work fine now, and I really love the concept.

Umm, not really. Maybe the manual could spend a few words on how to
get the hooks installed.
