Thanks, Lars.  I tried that and ran across a couple of problems:

When `posting' articles to a group like this, one would not want to
have a To address, I suppose.  Also, one would not want to have a
Newsgroups line.  Therefore, I tried creating a message without To,
Cc, Newsgroups headers but with a Gcc header.  But this created a
message from nobody -- it didn't have a From line, nor did it have a
Date nor a Message-Id.

Ok, now I try to set message-generate-headers-first to t which is a
Good Thing.  Still have to put some email address in there, though.

Is there a simple way to put the message into the group without having
to send it somewhere by mail or to post it in a newsgroup?

The following isn't really important:

I don't really understand how to make Gnus read the group from a
different directory than nnmh-directory.  It worked once, but after
that it failed :-(
I tried putting the directory name into the select method:
    M-e (nnmh "/bla") RET
I tried putting the directory name into a parameter:
    M-e (nnmh "/bla" (nnmh-directory "/bla")) RET
All of this failed somehow.  I circumvented this by putting a symlink
in ~/Mail that points to the right place then using group names with
the right prefix.
