Subject: little annoyance in maildir support.

hello,

i've made my qmail deliver the mail into maildirs. after small change
in mail-sources, gnus reads mail from maildir perfectly. almost, because
there're few details that could be improved:

1. gnus inserts somehow ">" before "From" when it is at the beginning
   of the line. in maildir specification you can read:
      The  message is  delivered  without an extra  UUCP-style "From_"
      line, without any ">From"  quoting,  and without an extra  blank
      line at the end.
   and qmail indeed acts like that. but mail viewed in gnus has those
   ">From" :( at least, on my system, with quite fresh gnus cvs snapshot.

2. the "x-from-line" header is:
    X-From-Line: maildir Thu Jul  6 00:59:50 2000
   instead of
    X-From-Line: sender@domain Thu Jul  6 00:59:50 2000
   like it was with mailbox flat file. is it supposed to be like that?

3. the `new mail' indicator in emacs does not work anymore. i'm not sure
   if it's still gnus job (or emacs, or some system software), so please
   correct me.

i'm sorry for no patches attached, but i'm not a lisp hacker at all.

m.m.
