Mail is split into your nnml groups, it's just that the group buffer
isn't updated.

Yes, this would be consistent with the code, at least. :-)

I don't really know what g-d-s-mail and g-d-s-mail should do (and the
documentation isn't helpful), so I think I'll leave it up to someone
who knows.  They look very different, so there is probably a reason.
