Well, I deliver into a maildir from my MDA, and want to use it as a
mail-source in Gnus since I like splitting with Gnus.

Right, okay. Consistancy is good, but I wonder how hard it would be
to skip that part with maildirs? (since you don't need the locking

I guess I wouldn't mind as much if a format other than mbox was used
for temporary storage. Those ">From" lines really irk me :)
