I figured out how to do this with XanaNews. You select the messages you
want, then File->Export Selected Articles. The separator is a . on its
own line, which isn't great. Possibly something in setting could change
that.

This is one of the really nice features of Agent.  You select the
messages you want to offload, pick File -> Save Messages As, and it
brings up a dialog box that lets you specify the file format, the
message separator, which headers you want to include and the save file
name and directory. It also remembers all those settings so you don't
have to re-enter them every time.

All selected messages with a body go into the output file (any without
bodies are ignored).
