I guess that depends on how often you need to fetch messages for the
agent. I do it twice a day: when I head off from home in the morning
and then again when I head for home. Keystrokes are straightforward:
"q y M-x gnus RET J s J j"
and then suspend my laptop...
However, it would obviously be best if I could simply do "J s J j"... :)
