86 GROUPS may be a regular expression or a list of group names, that will
87 be used to select candidate groups. If it is ommited or nil, all
88 existing groups are considered.
90 if NO-CROSSPOST is ommitted or nil, a & split will be returned,
91 otherwise, a | split, that does not allow crossposting, will be
94 if CATCH-ALL is not nil, and there is no selected group whose
95 SPLIT-REGEXP matches the empty string, nor is there a selected group
96 whose SPLIT-SPEC is 'catch-all, this group name will be appended to
97 the returned SPLIT list, as the last element in a '| SPLIT.
99 For each selected group, a SPLIT is composed like this: if SPLIT-SPEC
100 is specified, this split is returned as-is (unless it is nil: in this
101 case, the group is ignored). Otherwise, if TO-ADDRESS, TO-LIST and/or
102 EXTRA-ALIASES are specified, a regexp that matches any of them is
103 constructed (extra-aliases may be a list). Additionally, if
104 SPLIT-REGEXP is specified, the regexp will be extended so that it
105 matches this regexp too, and if SPLIT-EXCLUDE is specified, RESTRICT
106 clauses will be generated.
108 For example, given the following group parameters:
111 \((to-address . \"bar@femail.com\")
112 (split-regexp . \".*@femail\\\\.com\"))
114 \((to-list . \"foo@nowhere.gov\")
115 (extra-aliases \"foo@localhost\" \"foo-redist@home\")
116 (split-exclude \"bugs-foo\" \"rambling-foo\")
117 (admin-address . \"foo-request@nowhere.gov\"))
119 \((split-spec . catch-all))
121 Calling (gnus-group-split-fancy nil nil \"mail.misc\") returns:
123 \(| (& (any \"\\\\(bar@femail\\\\.com\\\\|.*@femail\\\\.com\\\\)\"
125 (any \"\\\\(foo@nowhere\\\\.gov\\\\|foo@localhost\\\\|foo-redist@home\\\\)\"
