Why not use the 
smtp seperator
command? That way ka9q will put in what ever sperator you like between
messages, I use it to simplify CPPNEWS smoflist compatability.

On a related note rather than using batch.txt why not use the JNOS/TNOS
news code which puts all groups into directories like on "proper" news
spools
e.g. \demon\spool\news\demon\ip\developers
with each article it's own file, ka9q will then take care of the indexing
and there are already several news readers that make use of this format.
