Here is an abbreviated version from my .emacs: (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("mail.system.backups" "^From.*amanda@") ("mail.system.cron" "^Subject: Cron") ("mail.personal" ""))) The problem I am having with this is that I routinely get a single message being split into two different mail groups, giving me a copy of the message in each group. I thought that this list was traversed top to bottom and that the first match terminated the search? Why might I be getting duplicates? How can I troubleshoot it? Thanks, Ben
