What is the recommended way for dealing with mime-encoded headers when
splitting mail? If I understand things correctly, Gnus looks at the raw
mails when splitting mail. So it may see mime-encoded headers (from:,
to:, subject:, etc.) which makes things like regexp-matching a less
straightfoward exercise. I may be missing something.
(Of course, it gets more expensive to split a large number of mail
messages if first lots of mime-encoded headers need to be decoded.
I guess that's the price one needs to pay for using mime encoding.)
Thanks,
Roland

I use this:
; Decode headers before splitting on them:
(setq nnmail-mail-splitting-decodes t)
,----[ C-h v nnmail-mail-splitting-decodes RET ]
| nnmail-mail-splitting-decodes is a variable defined in ‘nnmail.el’.
|
| Its value is t
| Original value was nil
|
| Whether the nnmail splitting functionality should MIME decode headers.
|
`----
Best regards,
Adam

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.
