I only use gnus-private, so that I can have per-user sorting, without an
regexp entry for each person in BBDB.
gnus-public will handle mailing lists, but it's intended to override
gnus-private and uses regexps. You set up rules with it instead of what you
currently have in nnmail-split-fancy, but I don't think it will be any simpler
than your "diplomacy" regexp.
I can't think of a way to simplify your diplomacy regexp. Anyone else?
You can have both nnmail-split-fancy and bbdb/gnus-split-method. (That's the
gnus-split-nomatch-function.) I use the former for mailing lists and the
latter for individuals.
Does this make sense? Alternately, what would you like gnus-split-method to
do?
