     This is a neat hack.  I'd like to add a word of caution, though. 
Don't use sendbatch -l if you're close to running out of spool space
YOURSELF.  If that's the case you want to flush everything out of your
system as fast as possible.  Also, don't use sendbatch -l when
transmitting to a site that has as much disk space as you do or more. 
Otherwise you'll cause propagation delays that aren't necessary.
