I use procmail to split my mail into spool files.  One reason I use
procmail is that I like splitting to happen at delivery time.  That
way I always know when I have mail and who it's from.  Another reason
is though that I don't have to use Gnus to read it.  I just use `mail
-f ~/incoming/<file name>'.  I also have a shell script that does an
`ls' of the spool directory and lists all non-empty groups.
