Good thinking, but it wasn't that. When I started all
this ruckus, I made a copy of the RMAIL file to bring it
out of the havoc.
But by now, I had forgot about it, so those 30 mails
were the correct number (in the new file). I should have
known that by now, (just ask Assange), *no* good deed
goes unpunished...
Of course, good news is, there is nothing wrong with the
respooler.
But:

No matter how hard I looked (I even used Google!), I
couldn't find any mark all or M P a shortcut. So I wrote
this
(defun gnus-summary-respool-all ()
(interactive)
(let ((lines (count-lines (point-min) (point-max))))
(beginning-of-buffer)
(gnus-summary-respool-article
lines
(gnus-find-method-for-group "nnml:mail.misc") )))
Anyway, *thanks so much*! Usenet and mail with one
interface (with message mode, .mailrc, etc. already
perfect), and now also shell access to the mails
(instead of that T-Rex RMAIL file), this is something
that I've visualized for *years*.
*sob*
