I wasn't sure because I'm using the most recent version, but not
really using it hard like before.  I gave up trying to convert news to
mail that way.  So have no large groups to test it on.  My giving up
was not nnmailder related.  Just seemed like too much complication
using suck, procmail and then gnus to get the results I wanted.  Some
where in that chain of events I was generating lots of duplicates.
Not related to the apps I don't think, but my processing scripts.

There is one small thing that I can think of that might be improved
some how.  Those filenames are pretty ridiculous if you do anything
with those files outside gnus.  Seems like a simple incremental
numbering scheme once the messags are brought from `new' would work.

These are a tad unweildy:
