But won't do anything without the regexps ...

(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(
        ("mail.ml-ooa"    
"\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*\\(help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org\\|ding@gnus.org\\|emacs-w3m@namazu.org\\|emacs-devel@gnu.org\\|gmane-discuss@quimby.gnus.org\\|tex-live@tug.org\\|gnuplot-info@lists.sourceforge.net\\|emacs-orgmode@gnu.org\\|emacs-erc@gnu.org\\)")
        [...]
        ("mail.misc"      "")
      ))

(note default last)

`B q' or `gnus-summary-respool-query' is the testing function
I spoke of, after you set up the regexps ...

For example of your message it says

  This message would go to mail.ml-ooa

That is because I assume I'd see it here (i.e.
gmane.emacs.help) anyway so if I get it as a mail it'll
respool to the mail ML out-of-action group where it doesn't
bother me ...
