Dear Justin,

the Gnus FAQ mentions the following Lisp code in `Q4.8 Procmail and
Gnus':

/----
| (setq
|  gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))
|  nnmail-use-procmail t
|  nnmail-spool-file 'procmail            ; same as nnmail-use-procmail :-)
|  nnmail-procmail-directory "~/.incoming/"
|  nnmail-delete-incoming t
| )
\----

For Gnus 5.8, this should be changed as follows, I think:

/----
| (setq
|  gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))
|  mail-sources '((directory :path "~/.incoming/" :suffix ".spool"))
|  mail-source-delete-incoming t
| )
\----

I'm not sure if it is necessary to also (setq nnmail-spool-file
mail-sources) to work around a bug in the officially released version
of Gnus.  Anyone?  This might have been fixed in 5.8.7 already.
