On the subject, a while back I was playing with my .forward file, and found that gnus would properly handle mails split by `^From ...' instead of the more standard `\n\nFrom ...' (I found this out by munging things until I found a way to echo a bare `\n' onto the end of each mail :/ ) Has the code changed since?
