I just upgraded to pgnus 0.80 and forgot to update my
nnmail-spool-file variable:
nnmail-spool-file's value is
("/var/mail/jdc" "~/Mail/me" "~/Mail/not-me" "~/Mail/ding" "~/Mail/Sent" "~/.record" "~/mbox")
To my surprise, Gnus worked fine. Is this supposed to be a valid
value for this variable with the new mail source stuff? If so,
perhaps the documentation could be updated to mention it?
By the way, nnmail-spool-file doesn't appear in the index.
Dan
PS: The documentation gives an example of the form:
(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:username")
Is this still valid? Whether or not it is, it's probably a good
idea to update this example to the new format.

The code tries to be somewhat backwards-compatible, but I'd rather not
spell that out in the manual. :-)

Yup. Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.81.
