Consequent Matches in `NNMAIL-SPLIT-METHOD'

Consequent Matches in `NNMAIL-SPLIT-METHOD'

[Volkan YAZICI]

Hi,

[I've asked same question in gnu.emacs.gnus, but still no replies
after 2 months.]

How can I make message splitting through `NNMAIL-SPLIT-METHOD' to stop
after the first found match, instead of processing the rest.


Regards.

I have this in ~/.gnus:

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| (from ttn-other-hackers "ttn.software")
          (from "cron daemon" "mail.sysadmin")
          ;; more stuff here
          ))

This seems to do what i think you are looking for.

I transfered my whole `NNMAIL-SPLIT-METHODS' to `NNMAIL-SPLIT-FANCY', but it
doesn't work as expected for every group. For instance, despite my
`NNMAIL-SPLIT-FANCY' is formatted like below

  (|
   ("X-Mailing-List" "pgsql-patches" "pgsql-patches")
   ...
   ("From" "Slashdot" "slashdot")
   ("From" "\"OSNews" "osnews")
   ...
   "misc")

below message gets filtered into "misc" group.

Any ideas about what I might have missed?

      ("From" "\"OSNews" "osnews")

In (info "(gnus) Fancy Mail Splitting")
i see:

|   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.  Therefore, if you use the following split, for
|example,

and note that 
(let ((s "From: \"OSNews: Kroc Camen\" <donotreply@osnews.com>")
      (value "\"OSNews"))
  (string-match (concat "\\<" value "\\>") s))
=> nil

You can probably find other interesting info in the documentation,
hint hint.
