I hadn't really thought to use it in batch mode but now that you
mention it, it does work well that way. I think even better than some
scanning fucntion. This way I was able to set a simple keyboard
sequence to run a batch command and this function, while having an
off-line (machine is online of course) gnus running that I read and
post from. So by pressing a couple keys , I can call the above
functionn in batch mode then view the results in the off-line gnus by
pressing 'g'. The running gnus never goes online. Nice.
