Thanks for the suggestion - it doesn't seem to work, though:

I added the defadvice to my .gnus (and eval'ed it); the split I am using
is this:

  ("X-Bugzilla-Product" "\\(\\w+\\)" "bugzilla.\\1")

and the email has this header:

  X-Bugzilla-Product: evince

But B q says:

  This message would go to bugzilla.e

If I type M-x posix-search-backward \w+ I only get one char matched -
same as typing C-u M-x \w+ - so maybe I overlooked something, or some
other remedy is needed?


  Best regards,
