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,
