I think he just wants a spool file to run through procmail again.
In that case:  cd to Mail/nnmlgroup  then run:

sed 's/X-From-Line:/From/' `ls [0-9]*` >MBOX_OUT
NOTE: The second set of single quotes are back ticks.. not single
quotes : )

Gnus removes the "From " from the original "From line" and replaces it
with "X-From-Line:".  So let sed remove it and reinsert "From"

Test the new file with `mutt -f MBOX_OUT'. Or in gnus group buffer do `G
m f' (make nndoc group),to see if the new file is properly formatted,
if so ...  Run it back through procmail.
