May I remind the original problem that I encountered that started that
thread? I am using nnmail fetching messages from several pop3 servers.
One of the messages had that magical sequence (perfectly legal in a
mail message I think) - "\n\nFrom". That was *not* the start of the
message, it was just a part of the message text. And gnus screwed up
that message - it split it in the middle, and put junk in my mail
group as a result. If I understand that situation correctly (please
tell me that I'm wrong) this is kind of by design. Or am I missing
something here?

(I still have the IncomingXXX file and the FUBAR split message - can
email them if needed.)
