nnmail-split-fancy?

[savoie]

O.k. smarties.  I'm having problems, and I'm probably a few steps above my
actual lisp knowledge. Maybe one of you can help out.  I want to split mail
based on expressions in the body of a mail message.  I looked in the manual
and found nnmail-split-fancy and the example on how to do this.  I googled
around enough to see how to change my old nnmail-split-methods to use the
nnmail-split-fancy, and now I want to add the split-on-body function, most of
the postings said the example is in the manual, but I think I need a hand
holding step-by-step explanation.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank in advance,

Matt

relevant information:

GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-suse-linux, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2002-03-25 on stephens

 Gnus v5.10.2

assume I have two groups:
       2: nnml+private:nsidc-2003 
       0: nnml+private:junk 

I've put this in my .gnus
 -----------------------

(defun split-on-body ()
  (save-excursion
    (set-buffer " *nnmail incoming*")
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (when (re-search-forward "exual" nil t)
      "junk")))

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
       '(| 
	 (: split-on-body) 
	 "nsidc-2003"
	 ))

But when I send a message with " sexual " content, or do Bt & Bq, I get in my
*Messages* buffer.

Error in `nnmail-split-methods'; using `bogus' mail group
This message would go to bogus

Thanks again,

Matt

When re-spooling, it doesn't actually use the *nnmail incoming*
buffer.  I've found that it seems to work if you leave out that line,
both when re-spooling and fetching new mail.

I tried that, and even tried sending mail to my account to see if it was a
problem with respooling not using the *nnmail incoming* buffer.  But still no
dice.

If I change the search text to something in my subject, it says it would move
to junk, but still nothing in the body is found.


Help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Right now spam.el won't help, but I could add a spam-use-regex-body
function similar to spam-use-regex-headers.  The spam-use-regex-body
function could return an arbitrary group name, unlike
spam-use-regex-headers (only spam-use-ifile can return an arbitrary
group right now so this is somewhat unusual, but not a problem).
