Interesting question!

I remember doing some stuff (?) with that once.
Now my /var/mail is empty tho. Hey, at least
I don't get those annoying messages in the VTs
about new mail...

If there is support for that there should be
a select method (see
`gnus-secondary-select-methods') but even if
there isn't, it can possibly be done using
respooling if nothing else...

Can you do 'ls -l' in that dir and possibly
find out more about the current format?
Do file(1), cat(1), the works...

It is a good start :)
