Two ways I have done this sort of thing:
1: process mark the articles and then O-s to create a SOUP packet.
There's an option (sorry it's been a long time since I've done this so
I don't recall exactly what it is) to have the SOUP packet be
generated in mbox format. You don't need to use all the nnsoup
stuff. That way.
2: create an nnmbox group and then process mark and B-c the articles
to it.
Neither O-s nor B-c reads the articles so w3 won't get called to
render them during the copy process.
