I guess I'm worried that people are going to lose mail, and blame me,
since my name is on the script.  Even though it's not my fault Gnus
can't do locking :)

No problem.  Keep your archive delivery script.  Add one more branch
at the top of the {} block:


:0: ding.lock
*^TOding@ifi.uio.no
{
      :0c:
      ding.spool

      # turn add-active-nov on, from here to the end of this block.
      # since the block starts a sub-shell, this shouldn't propagate
      # out of the block.
      TRAP=add-active-nov

      ...
}

Remove the TRAP from the beginning of your .procmailrc, 
then see <URL:http://www.fuentez.com/public-info/ding/> for
instructions on how to set up ding to slurp your .spool files.
