I'm working on getting nnmaildir to accept split mail.  What kind of
group names are passed to -save-mail and -active-number?  Plain, or
prefixed?  Or (ugh) plain for the primary server, and prefixed
otherwise?

Also, is the result of -active-number examined by any part of Gnus or
nnmail, or is it just passed back to -save-mail?  In this case,
-save-mail is recalculating the number anyway, so I wonder if I can
get away with always returning nil (or 1 or whatever) for
-active-number.
