If you don't mind going through the batcher, there are several flags that
will get the message ID into the batch file.  Particularly if your sys
entry is really "all/all" as you depicted it, having a program process
a whole batch file full of articles is also probably a lot faster than
running the program once per article.

I can't immediately think of anything otherwise, although the fine points
of this stuff are Geoff's department.
