I've been using bbdb/gnus-split-method for some years now to split my
incoming email to different folders. I have been using the
"gnus-privet" field successfully, but have never been able to activate
the gnus-public part. This is the splitting override for mailing lists
that lets you file all mailing list email in one folder, regardless of
the writer of the email. I could not find any references to such
success in Google ether.
I finally steeped throw the lisp code, and I think I found a bug, and
here is the diff:
diff -c bbdb-gnus.el.bad bbdb-gnus.el

the problem was that the regexp that was suppose to catch the "From:"
line seems to be wrong, and so the sender address never matched, and the
gnus-public option was never used.
Dose this make sense? has anyone here managed to use the "gnus-public"
option as is?
thanks, Matan
