It's probably explained somewhere, but I wonder why is it that gnus
needs to alter the Unix mail format "From " line, when it incorporates
mail.  

Then when saving a message to Unix format. Why is a secondary "fake"
one  added ("From nobody"), instead of replacing the "X-From-Line: "
characters with "From "?
