Not only.

Yes, with this I can read my mail correctly as a mbox format.

So the good news is that GNUS can do it. :-)

The bad news is that means that G f does not guess the good format.

The very bad news for me is that I have this issue on my normal mail,
not only file group.

I get my mail with some:
(setq mail-sources '(
		     ;; Pick mail in the local mail repository,
		     ;; if mail is lost here or droped by other means...
		     (file)
		     ;; get some remote mail in the local mail repository:
		     (file :prescript "fdm -l -v fetch")
		     ;; Pick mail in the central mail repository:
		     (file :prescript "ssh info bin/recup_mail --fetch >%t"
			   ;; Once it is read by Gnus we can archive it on the server side:
			   :postscript "ssh info bin/recup_mail --archive")
 		     ))

So basically almost everything lands into my /var/mail/keryell and is
digested by Gnus. But then this bug means that it is not read with the
correct mbox format?

I've read again the "Mail Source Specifiers" section and around of the
manual and there is no way to enforce the format as being a mbox one...

Same for the customization menu...
