Thanks.  I donated one of the last patches, and was been a long time
ago.  with no change in several years and links rotting away, it's hard
to know.

I've read the above several times prior to posting here.  I clearly got
nnml and nnmail mixed up, that I already figured out.  But I still have
a problem locating the way to set the default backend for splitting.
Right now, if I try to use "B r" (gnus-summary-respool-article) with
nnml as the backend, it works just fine, but if I try to use nnmaildir
as the backend, I dont get the email delivered to the right place,
and I don't get a message reporting where the email was saved (as I do
with nnml).

any clues?
