Re: splitting mail in Gnus

GOD fixed his bugs by throwing the misbehaving out of his Garden. 
So who the hell do you think you are in leaving bugs in your system.

(setq gnus-secondary-select-method '(nnml))

just tells gnus to use nnml
as an secindary method.

The mail splitting part comes next

(setq nnmail-split-incoming t)
;;then the split part wher you can use reg_expr.

(setq nnmail-split-methods

        '("mail.somegroupname"  "^From:.nice-maillist@some-server.com")

         ("mail.misc" "")) 
 

The `mail.misc' group is the mail-bucket where everything non-matching
by any splitting rule goes.
Be aware that sorting is sequential, so the first match goes.
