Subject: Gnus nnmail-split-fancy regexps can’t support backrefs inside themselves?
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2018 20:15:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4i30kmyxt8ln.1gu.xxuns.g6.gal@galex-713.eu> (raw)

If I use a rule with a match regexp including a backreference inside the
variable nnmail-split-fancy, it doesn’t match anything anymore:
("list-id" ".*<\\(gcc\\)-\\(help\\).\\1.\\(gnu\\)\\.org>.*" "lists.\\3.\\1.\\2")

Yet backrefs are supported on the other side of the rule… is this
normal? why is that? I at least would like a confirmation ^^
