Following a few links a bit further in this, I have found a
(partially) working solution. By creating a new nnfolder virtual
server, I have managed to get my directory of files readable in Gnus
the way I want.

The only problem is that this method alters the mbox files, by adding
an X-Gnus-Article-Number header to each article. This stops me from
being able to re-download the file and see new messages - trying to do
so gets Gnus very confused...

I guess this is similar to the issue others have complained of in the
newsgroup, that Gnus "owns" all of the files it works with, and having
other programs access them is not allowed. Grumble. Is there a way
round this?

Paul.
