nnimap-split-rule regex: match newlines

[Kurt B. Kaiser]

I'm trying to split on two headers which are separated by a couple of
lines.  But I haven't been able to figure out how to match the newlines.
I have:

        ("INBOX.SomeMailbox"
         "^From:.*avendor\\(.*[ \t\n]\\)*Subject:.*Order Confirmation")

I started with 

"^From:.*avendor.*Subject:.*Order Confirmation" but '.' doesn't match
a newline.  I tried progressively more complicated regex but no joy.

Thanks, KBK

Hello Kurt,

I think you can do like this :
         ("INBOX.SomeMailbox" "^From:.*avendor)
         ("INBOX.SomeMailbox" "^Subject:.*Order Confirmation")

I don't know if gnus parse line by line or the full message. 
So maybe it's not possible to match newline...

I need to "and" the specifications, I don't want all the mail from
'avendor' in SomeMailbox, nor everything with "Order Confirmation"
in the subject.

nnmail-split-fancy can do that pretty readily:

(from "avendor"
 ("Subject" "Order Confirmation" "INBOX.SomeMailbox"))

See its documentation or (gnus)Fancy Mail Splitting for more details.

Thanks!  

Whoa, the docs on nnimap-split-fancy read like a parody of the gnus
docs!  Lets see....

Later...  the original regex I posted works!  For some reason it wasn't
adequate to hit 'r' after modifying my .gnus to re-read it; I had to
exit and restart gnus to make it effective.
