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? Thanks, it gives me some idea what the code is supposed to do. However, I have not used this code in bbdb-gnus.el and it is quite possible that something got broken in this code that has not yet been noticed / fixed. It would be good if a more experienced gnus user could take a look. Note also that the default value of bbdb/gnus-split-myaddr-regexp references the variable gnus-local-domain which is obsolete since emacs 24.1. This suggests to me once more that the relevant code in bbdb-gnus.el could benefit from a more careful review by an experienced gnus user.

What is `gnus-public' supposed to do? 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.

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. Is this some (very) old Gnus feature that disappeared in more recent versions of Gnus, or am I missing something else? (Which version of Guns are you using with which version of emacs?) 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.
