  Yes, use the nnbatch(1) program.

  First, define an init file to select and save the articles.  For example:

	set flow-control false
	unset embedded-header-escape

	on entry talk.bizarre
		'=' "^" 'S' "~/collected/$N" '+'
	end

	sequence
	talk.bizarre

  Then use nnbatch with this init file:

	nnbatch -Iinit2 talk.bizarre 2>&1 > /dev/null

  The above setup saves the entire newsgroup, but you could easily
  change it to use auto-selection with a killfile. Maybe:

	on entry comp.*
		'S' "+$G/$N" '+'
	end
