Use formail and safecat (see example at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze1ypud/linux/software/safecat/one-liners.html) to put all your mail in a Maildir. Gnus can read from a Maildir (and you can keep using it as your regular mail delivery place if you want). Use procmail or a MTA that supports it if you want to keep using a Maildir. Alternatively, open the file, go to the middle, and find the beginning of a message. Cut there into two files. Ted
