Hi Pascal,
As Katsumi Yamaoka-san has written, you have to use either a string in
the first element of each `split', or one of the supported keywords
(extending the keyword list is easy too, but it's not necessary here).
The above split could be written as:
'(| (: nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent)
(from ".*cron daemon.*" "mail.cron")
(to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "mail.voynich")
(from ".*gentoo.*" "mail.gentoo")
(from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "mail.zenith")
(to ".*\\(lisp.it\\|[EMAIL PROTECTED]).*" "mail.lisp")
(from ".*\\(@freelance.com\\|@dice.com\\).*"
"mail.jobs"))))
The nice thing about keywords is that they match more than one type of
email header:
,----[ Gnus manual. Node: Fancy Mail Splitting ]-----------------------
|
| Predefined entries in `nnmail-split-abbrev-alist' include:
|
| `from'
| Matches the `From', `Sender' and `Resent-From' fields.
|
| `to'
| Matches the `To', `Cc', `Apparently-To', `Resent-To' and
| `Resent-Cc' fields.
|
| `any'
| Is the union of the `from' and `to' entries.
|
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The `from' keyword is probably less useful if you only want to split on
the "From:" header, but the `to' keyword is my all times favorite :-)
Cheers,
Giorgos
