If you can leave yourself logged in overnight, I _strongly_ recommend using
the demon for doing stuff like this when your Emacs is idle.

Here's what I have in my .gnus:

	(gnus-demon-add-nocem)

	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
	;; Redefine some functions from gnus-demon.el

	;; 1 min idle time isn't enough. Wait for 5 mins.
	(defun gnus-demon-add-nocem ()
	  "Add daemonic NoCeM handling to Gnus."
	  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-nocem 60 5))

	;; Don't try to fetch pgp keys when verifying in the demon.
	;; Emacs is idle! There's noone to answer Mailcrypt's prompts!
	(defun gnus-demon-scan-nocem ()
	  "Scan NoCeM groups for NoCeM messages."
	  (save-window-excursion
	    (let ((mc-pgp-always-fetch 'never))
	      (gnus-nocem-scan-groups))))
