Exactly what I tried to explain in my post, maybe not in a clear way, then. gnus-private looks at the author of an email, and uses that for sorting the email in the right folder. gnus-public looks at the recipient of an email, and uses that for sorting the email in the right folder. That's only useful (IMHO) for mailing lists: I want all emails *sent to* `bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net' to go to the same folder. The corner case is when one of your colleague, for example, for which you have a gnus-private rule, is sending an email to a mailing list for which you have a gnus-public rule. In that case, gnus-public takes precedence over gnus-private: you colleague's email will be moved to the folder reserved for the mailing list. Is this all much clearer now? > I realized a little while ago that bbdb-gnus.el refers to gnus-public, but I > could not find any reference to gnus-public in Gnus itself.

It is not related to Gnus, but to BBDB itself (when used for splitting). It is the counterpart of gnus-private, as explained above. > I thought about removing the relevant pieces of code in bbdb-gnus.el > that have a `FIXME' tag.
