Didn't it turn up in Gnus in mail.misc (or nnml:mail.misc), or
something?

Did Gnus put it in ~/Mail/ somewhere?

What happens if you press L in your *Groups* buffer after starting Gnus?

For local storage (i.e. slurp mail into Gnus), I like nnml: - I don't
really know any good reason to use something else, if you're going to
use Gnus to read email exclusively.

(I generally do this and only read mail on the machine I do that on; if
I am physically elsewhere, I just ssh to the machine and use gnuclient
to access the always-running XEmacs-with-Gnus).

My usage is quite simple, but works well for my use-pattern.
