I take it back. I did find movemail programs for both fsf emacs and
XEmacs. They were apparently part of the Windows distributions of
these. They're not on my regular executable path, but I assume emacs
knows how to find them.
So this still leave me with the basic problem: Why doesn't gnus read
mail from this spool file. Aargh!
Thanks for all help thus far.
