It's not a Gnus problem. The ``fix'' applies to any late model Emacs.
If you don't set mail-use-rfc822 to t, and try to save an article with
a From line that looks something like:
From: joeluser@aol.com (Joe "Stupid" Luser)
The Emacs mail utilies will, when saving to mailbox format, convert it
into a From_ line that looks like:
>From joeluser@aol.com (JoeLuser) ...
Which will cause Gnus to bomb when attempting to deal with it later
(as in nnmail-process-unix-mail-format putting it into an nnml group)
since it does not match the ugly rmail-unix-mail-delimiter regular
expression.
This applies to anything in Emacs calling the standard mail-utils to
save in mailbox format.
Regards,
