41Sets things up so that nnmail-split-fancy is used for mail
42splitting, and defines the variable nnmail-split-fancy according with
43group parameters.
44
45If AUTO-UPDATE is non-nil (prefix argument accepted, if called
46interactively), it makes sure nnmail-split-fancy is re-computed before
47getting new mail, by adding gnus-group-split-update to
10b3dd25

48nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook.

50A non-nil CATCH-ALL replaces the current value of
51gnus-group-split-default-catch-all-group. This variable is only used
52by gnus-group-split-update, and only when its CATCH-ALL argument is
53nil. This argument may contain any fancy split, that will be added as
54the last split in a `|' split produced by gnus-group-split-fancy,
55unless overridden by any group marked as a catch-all group. Typical
56uses are as simple as the name of a default mail group, but more
57elaborate fancy splits may also be useful to split mail that doesn't
58match any of the group-specified splitting rules. See
59gnus-group-split-fancy for details."

100GROUPS may be a regular expression or a list of group names, that will
101be used to select candidate groups. If it is ommited or nil, all
102existing groups are considered.

108For each selected group, a SPLIT is composed like this: if SPLIT-SPEC
109is specified, this split is returned as-is (unless it is nil: in this
110case, the group is ignored). Otherwise, if TO-ADDRESS, TO-LIST and/or
111EXTRA-ALIASES are specified, a regexp that matches any of them is
112constructed (extra-aliases may be a list). Additionally, if
113SPLIT-REGEXP is specified, the regexp will be extended so that it
114matches this regexp too, and if SPLIT-EXCLUDE is specified, RESTRICT
115clauses will be generated.
116
10b3dd25
DL
117If CATCH-ALL is nil, no catch-all handling is performed, regardless of
118catch-all marks in group parameters. Otherwise, if there is no
119selected group whose SPLIT-REGEXP matches the empty string, nor is
120there a selected group whose SPLIT-SPEC is 'catch-all, this fancy
121split (say, a group name) will be appended to the returned SPLIT list,
122as the last element of a '| SPLIT.

124For example, given the following group parameters:
125
126nnml:mail.bar:
127\((to-address . \"bar@femail.com\")
128 (split-regexp . \".*@femail\\\\.com\"))
