@vindex gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed
@item gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed
If the split is a string, that will be taken as a group name. Normal
regexp match expansion will be done. See below for examples.
-@item (@var{field} @var{value} [- @var{restrict} [@dots{}] ] @var{split})
+@c Don't fold this line.
+@item (@var{field} @var{value} [- @var{restrict} [@dots{}] ] @var{split} [@var{invert-match-partial-words}])
If the split is a list, the first element of which is a string, then
store the message as specified by @var{split}, if header @var{field}
(a regexp) contains @var{value} (also a regexp). If @var{restrict}
the end of the matched @var{value}, the @var{split} is ignored. If
none of the @var{restrict} clauses match, @var{split} is processed.
+The last element @var{invert-match-partial-words} is optional. If it is
+not omitted and the value is non-nil, the match-partial-words behavior
+controlled by the @code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} variable
+(see below) will be inverted.
+
@item (| @var{split} @dots{})
If the split is a list, and the first element is @code{|} (vertical
bar), then process each @var{split} until one of them matches. A
@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
+in @samp{joemail}. If you want to alter this behavior, you can use any
+of the following three ways:
+
+@enumerate
+@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-match-partial-words} 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}.
+@end enumerate
@vindex nnmail-split-abbrev-alist
@var{field} and @var{value} can also be Lisp symbols, in that case
(i.e. mailing-list@@domain vs Mailing-List@@Domain). The default value
is @code{t}.
-@vindex nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words
-@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
-delimiters. If this variable is true, they are not implicitly
-surrounded by anything.
-
-@example
-(any "joe" "joemail")
-@end example
-
-In this example, messages sent from @samp{joedavis@@foo.org} will
-normally not be filed in @samp{joemail}. With
-@code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} set to @code{t},
-however, the match will happen. In effect, the requirement of a word
-boundary is removed and instead the match becomes more like a grep.

+parts as @acronym{HTML}. The function specified by the
+@code{mm-text-html-renderer} variable (@pxref{Display Customization,
