failure of gnus to determine boundaries of emails

[Martin Steffen <msteffen@ifi.uio.no>]

Hi,

I have the following set-up: I slurp in (via fetchmail) my emails from some
server, have it spit via procmail and thus spooled into mail-files in
mbox-format at my local disk.

At that point, I want gnus to read-in those spooled mail-files, to
incorporate them (using gnus' ``nnfolder'' backend seconday-method.)

Indeed, gnus reads in the spooled files, i.e., incorporates them from the
spool directory into the target directory ~/Mail and displays them as
``groups'' in the top-level gnus buffer.

However: when entering one of those nnfolder-groups, the emails in each
folder are shown in the summary mode as simply _one big email_, i.e.,
either the gnus-incorporating-mechanism or the summary-display-mechanism
does not honor the message boundaries properly.

Any hints, what might be the problem?

PS: I'm working with emacs-version 21.4.1
    nd               gnus-version  v5.9.0

PPS: I had posted a similar enquiry some time ago, but 
     two sources of errors that I suspected at that
     time (procmail, and/or the mail-server itself)
     I think I can cancel from the list of potential culprits,
     seems like the problem lies within gnus..
