Thanks, Reiner!

This one doesn't work for me.  It crashes inside gnus-list-of-unread-articles,
when it tries to do "while (<= first last) ..." and both first and
last are nil.  I haven't yet figured out what I'm doing wrong here.

> `C-u G f /path/to/mbox m'

But this one works like a charm.  I don't even need the C-u because
nndoc defaults the type to "guess".  There's a minor nuisance in that
I have to kill the group after I visit it, but that's not a big deal.

Thanks again for the help.
