I do not know if it is the right way, but I use patterns of
the type:

| (gnus-with-article-buffer
|   (gnus-fetch-original-field "User-Agent"))

Similarly, I use gnus-with-article-buffer and
save-mark-and-excursion to "enter" the article buffer, then
article-goto-body to go to the article body's top, and then
search-forward-regexp to capture text.
