nnimap-split-fancy and regexp

nnimap-split-fancy and regexp

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

I receive mails from the Moodle forum, which typically have the
following header:


Subject: Using Moodle: Re: Cannot get moodle to follow a symlink on	localhost
In-reply-to: <moodlepost391135@moodle.org>
X-Mailer: PHPMailer [version Moodle 2007101506]


So what I want is to configure 
 nnimap-split-rule  and nnimap-split-fancy respectively 

Such that all this mails are moved to a Imap folder called Moodle

I tried the following

   ("Reply-to:" "Do not reply to this email <noreply@moodle.org>" "Moodle")
   ("X-Mailer:" "PHPMailer [version Moodle 2007101506]" "Moodle")
   ("Subject"  ".*\\[Using Moodle:\\].*" "Moodle")
   ("Subject"  "\\[Using Moodle:\\].*" "Moodle")
   ("In-reply-to:" "<moodlepost0@moodle.org>" "Moodle")


But none really helped and the mail was moved to my HAM folder.

Most likely this is a problem of regexp but I don't know how to set
that up correctly.

Anybody can help

Thanks in advance

(info "(gnus) Fancy Mail Splitting") says

    "Normally, VALUE in these splits must match a complete _word_
     according to the fundamental mode syntax table. In other words, all
     VALUE's will be implicitly surrounded by `\<...\>' markers, which
     are word delimiters. [...]

      1. You can set the `nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words'
         variable to non-`nil' in order to ignore word boundaries and
         instead the match becomes more like a grep. This variable
         controls whether partial words are matched during fancy
         splitting. The default value is `nil'. [...]

      2. VALUE beginning with `.*' ignores word boundaries in front of a
         word.  Similarly, if VALUE ends with `.*', word boundaries in the
         rear of a word will be ignored.  For example, the VALUE
         `"@example\\.com"' does not match `foo@example.com' but
         `".*@example\\.com"' does. [...]"

It matches the string ``[Using Moodle:]'' (including brackets) surrounded
by anything.

No, I did not try, and I neither understand why 
("Subject"  ".*\\[Using Moodle:\\].*" "Moodle")

does not work. As far as I understand regexp (and I must admit I don't
understand them very much),
 ".*\\[Using Moodle:\\].*"
states match anything followed but Using Moodle followed by anything

Did you try?  But first, do you understand now why your rules don't
match?

Well but this functionality seems not to exist for the 
*nnimap* backend.

  "C-h i d m gnus RET i nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words RET"))
