I'm subscribed to a number of mailing lists that come in a digested form
and are now processed using C-d in the summary buffer. However, what I
would like is that the undigestifying is done while distributing the
incoming mail over my nnml groups.
Kind regards,

This isn't currently possible. I've now added it to the todo list.

This should be possible to do with procmail delivery to a spool mbox
file (NB! I haven't actually tried it).

I have tried it on the ding-rn-digest list an it worked just fine. A
cookbook recipe:
* Get procmail: ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/
* Follow the installation procedure and note the subtleties involved
with older versions of sendmail.
* use a '.procmailrc' with something like:
---8<---
PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/Abin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/spool # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox.spool
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
# An alternative and probably more efficient solution to splitting up a digest
# would be (only works for standard format mailbox files though):
:0:
* ^Subject:.*Digest
|formail +1 -ds cat >>mbox.spool
# Anything that has not been delivered by now will go to $DEFAULT
# using LOCKFILE=$DEFAULT$LOCKEXT
---8<---
The procmail package contains some more elaborate rules examples.
Of course you will have to add
(setq nnmail-use-procmail t
nnmail-procmail-directory (expand-file-name "~/spool/")
nnmail-resplit-incoming t)
to your '.gnus'.
