Ack, it is also much faster than Gnus could ever be. Batch processing
isn't its forte.

I think this would break since Gnus rewrites the From_ lines into
X-From-Line headers and did From-unescaping.
I found the following command in my .bash_history:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
for f in nnml/foo/*; do
sed '1s/^X-From-Line:/From/;/^$/,$s/^>*From />&/' $f;
done > ~/mymbox
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
...which resulted in an mbox in MBOXRD format.
