I am afraid I do not understand. I thought movemail was used to move
mail from "inbox" (which in my case is a pop server) to the user mail
directory (i.e. to one of ~/Mail/Incoming... files). If this is so,
then the problem I saw could not have been caused by movemail, could
it? The Incoming... file has the mail message correct, as far as I
understand it was screwed up by whatever split the specific message
and put it into the mail group - which is nnml in this case, again -
if I understand it correctly. What am I missing?

BTW, I did not specify a mail-source-movemail-program - from which I
gather that the movemail.exe that came with XEmacs is used by gnus by
default. Still, I don't see how this can be relevant for the problem
in question.
