nnmail could just as well suck in a file in the procmail directory
with same name as the group. I mean there is no need for a suffix if
you keep a separate directory.

 bal/bla/Mail/spool/group.spool

is tautological.

For me at least the whole purpose of having the extention is that you
CAN ceep the spool and the actual folder together. This is a somewhat moot
moint if you use a directory based backend, but I think it looks tidy
with nnfolder.

I like it that way and works just fine as along as you don't use n-g-a-f

For me it would super if nnfolder-g-a-f would just create a gpoup
blabla for any blabla.spool files it didn't know about and forget
about the other files
