+  '(("mail.misc" ""))
+  "*Incoming mail will be split according to this variable.
+
+If you'd like, for instance, one mail group for mail from the
+\"4ad-l\" mailing list, one group for junk mail and one for everything
+else, you could do something like this:
+
+ (setq nnmail-split-methods
+       '((\"mail.4ad\" \"From:.*4ad\")
+         (\"mail.junk\" \"From:.*Lars\\\\|Subject:.*buy\")
+         (\"mail.misc\" \"\")))
+
+As you can see, this variable is a list of lists, where the first
+element in each \"rule\" is the name of the group (which, by the way,
+does not have to be called anything beginning with \"mail\",
+\"yonka.zow\" is a fine, fine name), and the second is a regexp that
+nnmail will try to match on the header to find a fit.
+
+The second element can also be a function.  In that case, it will be
+called narrowed to the headers with the first element of the rule as
+the argument.  It should return a non-nil value if it thinks that the
+mail belongs in that group.
+
+The last element should always have \"\" as the regexp.
+
+This variable can also have a function as its value.")
+
+;; Suggested by Erik Selberg <speed@cs.washington.edu>.

+GROUP: Mail will be stored in GROUP (a string).
+
+\(FIELD VALUE SPLIT): If the message field FIELD (a regexp) contains
+  VALUE (a regexp), store the messages as specified by SPLIT.

+FIELD must match a complete field name.  VALUE must match a complete
+word according to the `nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table' syntax table.
