+@c Don't fold this line.
+@item (@var{field} @var{value} [- @var{restrict} [@dots{}] ] @var{split} [@var{invert-partial}])
+The split can be a list containing at least three elements. If the

+@var{value} (also a regexp) then store the message as specified by
+@var{split}.
+

@end table
In these splits, @var{field} must match a complete field name.
-@var{value} must match a complete word according to the fundamental mode
-syntax table. You can use @code{.*} in the regexps to match partial
-field names or words. In other words, all @var{value}'s are wrapped in
-@samp{\<} and @samp{\>} pairs.
+
+Normally, @var{value} in these splits must match a complete @emph{word}
+according to the fundamental mode syntax table. In other words, all
+@var{value}'s will be implicitly surrounded by @code{\<...\>} markers,
+which are word delimiters. Therefore, if you use the following split,
+for example,
+
+@example
+(any "joe" "joemail")
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+messages sent from @samp{joedavis@@foo.org} will normally not be filed

+@item
+@vindex nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words
+You can set the @code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} variable
+to non-@code{nil} in order to ignore word boundaries and instead the
+match becomes more like a grep. This variable controls whether partial
+words are matched during fancy splitting. The default value is
+@code{nil}.
+
+Note that it influences all @var{value}'s in your split rules.
+
+@item
+@var{value} beginning with @code{.*} ignores word boundaries in front of
+a word. Similarly, if @var{value} ends with @code{.*}, word boundaries
+in the rear of a word will be ignored. For example, the @var{value}
+@code{"@@example\\.com"} does not match @samp{foo@@example.com} but
+@code{".*@@example\\.com"} does.
+
+@item
+You can set the @var{invert-partial} flag in your split rules of the
+@samp{(@var{field} @var{value} @dots{})} types, aforementioned in this
+section. If the flag is set, word boundaries on both sides of a word
+are ignored even if @code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} is
+@code{nil}. Contrarily, if the flag is set, word boundaries are not
+ignored even if @code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} is
+non-@code{nil}. (New in Gnus 5.10.7)

@var{field} and @var{value} can also be Lisp symbols, in that case

is @code{t}.

If you want to set the variable @code{gnus-florgbnize} to four (4), you
write the following:
