Cut-n-pasto. Sorry.

The @code{mail-sources} is global for all mail groups. You can specify
an additional mail source for a particular group by including the
@code{group} mail specifier in @code{mail-sources}, and setting a
@code{mail-source} group parameter (@pxref{Group Parameters}) specifying
a single mail source. When this is used, @code{mail-sources} is
typically just @code{(group)}; the @code{mail-source} parameter for a
group might look like this:
@lisp
(mail-source . (file :path "home/user/spools/foo.spool"))
@end lisp
This means that the group's (and only this group's) messages will be
fetched from the spool file @samp{/user/spools/foo.spool}.

Yes, that's what I was using before. I thought a `file' specifier would
make for a simpler example.

I specify a full source.
