I had splitting working for ages and have now given up again. The splitting (spam-split) Gurus seem to be away on holidays. As for NoGnus, yeah even finding that can be fraught as there seem to be a few about. Here is where I cloned from: http://git.gnus.org/ In case its not mentioned there, you need to set your path to this clone and then also call (load "gnus-load") ;; Needed if using nognus. Good luck! r.
