OK, so we're in violent agreement :-)

Right, that's exactly what I said. But now I understand what you're referring to. Yes, it is possible to specify the mail-source equivalent directly in the select method. I expect that's something that got added on over time. I have mail-sources set at home for my POP server, but I've been set up that way since September Gnus (and maybe even earlier though I am pretty sure I was still using mh-e back in those days).
