nnmail-spool-file documentation

[Dan Christensen]

I just upgraded to pgnus 0.80 and forgot to update my
nnmail-spool-file variable:

nnmail-spool-file's value is 
("/var/mail/jdc" "~/Mail/me" "~/Mail/not-me" "~/Mail/ding" "~/Mail/Sent" "~/.record" "~/mbox")

To my surprise, Gnus worked fine.  Is this supposed to be a valid
value for this variable with the new mail source stuff?  If so,
perhaps the documentation could be updated to mention it?

By the way, nnmail-spool-file doesn't appear in the index.

Dan

PS:  The documentation gives an example of the form:

  (setq nnmail-spool-file "po:username")

Is this still valid?  Whether or not it is, it's probably a good
idea to update this example to the new format.

The code tries to be somewhat backwards-compatible, but I'd rather not
spell that out in the manual.  :-)

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.81.
