As you can see on the other branch of this thread, others are trolling
on this topic. So no, it's not that obvious. IMO, the problem is
indeed greedyness of `re-search-backward' that is not POSIX compliant
apparently [1].
You may be interrested in trying the following hack (or something
similar) which makes fancy splitting use a greedy yet much slower
backward searching algorithm:
(defadvice nnmail-split-it (around my-greedy-nnmail-split-it activate)
"Around advice temporarily replacing `re-search-backward' with
`posix-search-backward'."
(flet ((re-search-backward (regexp &optional bound noerr count)
(posix-search-backward regexp bound noerr count)))
ad-do-it))
