This works for me.  Note that I've customized it a little -- it searches for
"search_string" and then saves each of those.

Sorry if this is too specialized for you or not too useful to you.

I should note that I only sequence through a _single_ .newsrc.  This is
also kinda klunky because it doesn't make use of the "E" command when it
really could/should.

Sorry if this doesn't solve your problems.
