Ah.  Well, there is no such thing as a "long-file-name" setting for
nnml (or any of the other mail backends).  nnml really, really wants
something that looks like a normal news spool, where "." in file names
is verboten.

Of course, this is a stupid restriction, so I'll be adding a
`nnmail-use-long-file-names' variable to September.

Yup.  I'll do just that.  (And I'm stealing your bit about pentagrams
and goats.  Go ahead -- just sue me for copyright infringement!  Or
the FSF!  So there!)

I use nnbabyl under OS/2, which has the advantage that you can read
the same rmail file using either gnus or rmail. Here's the relevant
portion of my .emacs file:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnbabyl ""))
      nnmail-spool-file "d:/tcpip/spool/mail/stanton"
      nnbabyl-mbox-file "d:/mail/rmail"
      nnbabyl-get-new-mail t
      nnmail-crosspost t
      nnmail-split-methods
