+@code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} controls whether partial
+words are matched during fancy splitting.

+Normally, regular expressions given in @code{nnmail-split-fancy} are
+implicitly surrounded by @code{\<...\>} markers, which are word

+surrounded by anything.

+@example
+(any "joe" "joemail")

+In this example, messages sent from @samp{joedavis@foo.org} will
+normally not be filed in @samp{joemail}.  With

+match will happen.  In effect, the requirement of a word boundary is
+removed and instead the match becomes more like a grep.
