Regular express does _not_ work in nnmail-split-fancy

Regular express does _not_ work in nnmail-split-fancy

[Steven Woody]

please see following samples from my .gnus.el

,----[ Method A ]
| (setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
|       nnmail-split-fancy
|      `(|
|        ...
|        (any "sox-users@lists.sourceforge.net" "gen.list")
|        (any "rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net" "gen.list")
|        (any "tiff@lists.maptools.org" "gen.list")
|        (any "gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu" "gen.list")
|        "mail.misc"
|        ))
`----

,----[ Method B ]
| (setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
|       nnmail-split-fancy
|      `(|
|        ...
|        (any "@lists\\." "gen.list")
|        "mail.misc"
|        ))
`----

Methd A works well. but not Method B -- all message will unexpected go to
"mail.misc" instead of "gen.list".  where did i make any wrong?

thanks.

Try:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words t)

In the case where it is nil (by default), the regexp "@lists\\."
is computed into "\\<@lists\\.\\>", which won't match any mail
address since "." is not recognized as `word'.  The value t
prevents it from being surrounded by "\\<...\\>".  Please note,
changing the value of `nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words'
might also affect other entries in `nnmail-split-fancy'.
