I know, but I think it's correct nonetheless; what we're looking for
here is a header inserted by Gnus in the mbox file, it looks like this:

X-Gnus-Article-Number: 6905   Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:02:58 +0100

and is inserted like this:

(defun nnfolder-insert-newsgroup-line (group-art)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (unless (search-forward "\n\n" nil t)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (insert "\n"))
    (forward-char -1)
    (insert (format (concat nnfolder-article-marker "%d   %s\n")
		    (cdr group-art) (message-make-date)))))

So unless there is a historical reason why we need to skip over stuff
between nnfolder-article-marker and the article number, the new code is
correct.

Ah yes I had overlooked that, thanks.  Although in that case it wouldn't
change anything (the marker is a plain string and it's not
customizable).
