Rehi,

in the last thread I said some strange things.  I must've been out of
my mind (or haven't thought long enough about what happens).

OK, it seems that movemail creates a babyl file if reading from a POP3
server.  I have already asked Michael to please run movemail manually
to show you the babyl file that's produced when a message doesn't end
with an empty line.

Anyhow, it worked for him with Gnus 5.2.40 and Rgnus 0.50 (!) and
discontinued working in rgnus 0.70 (or 0.71 or so).  It still doesn't
work with 5.4.8.

I did a cursory search of nnmail-process-babyl-mail-format in 5.2.40's
nnmail.el and in 5.4.11's nnmail.el but couldn't find anything
offhand.  These functions *are* different, though, but I can't
immediately see the effects.

You'll be hearing from us later, I presume.
