Yes I was looking at that too 

But I was not sure if I can use both at the same time?

This is how my rules start

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy )
(setq nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words t)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(& 
        (| 


well once I tried something like 

(any "*@chello\\.at" "other") but since this did not work, ( and I din't
feel asking in the newsgroup I just forgot about it) 

are you saying 

    (any  "chello" "other") was/is all that is needed?

I did not know that it was/is broken, you are the first person who made
the effort to tell me that this needs to be fixed as well :-)
I just wrote a file, maybe I hit once to many the space bar, writing it.
