On the CPAN (http://www.cpan.org) is a perl program I wrote called
mail2news that takes as an argument a newsgroup, and reads from stdin
the message to post to that newsgroup.  You could simplify the above
to split the messages and feed them one at a time to this program
instead of having to create a temporary list to populate the
newsgroup.

I use the script to read some large mailing lists via newsreaders and
to provide broader local access and archiving to them.
