Well, I use a script that does the same thing. And I agree that
rcvstore is the right way to do it. For your amusement, I've appended
my script.
------
#! /bin/sh
# This file was wrapped with "dummyshar".  "sh" this file to extract.
# Contents:  rn2mh2
echo extracting 'rn2mh2'
if test -f 'rn2mh2' -a -z "$1"; then echo Not overwriting 'rn2mh2'; else
sed 's/^X//' << \EOF > 'rn2mh2'
X#!/bin/csh -f

X# rntomh

X# Arguments:
X#   %C  newsgroup name, dot form
X#   %a  article number

Xset folder=+news
X( echo "Article: $2 of $1" ; cat ) | /usr/new/lib/mh/rcvstore $folder
X
Xecho Saved article $2 of $1 to $folder.
EOF
chars=`wc -c < 'rn2mh2'`
if test $chars !=      260; then echo 'rn2mh2' is $chars characters, should be      260 characters!; fi
fi
exit 0
