AFAIK the use case for Gnus agent is slightly different. The idea is to
download all available articles (or a subset explicitly marked) while
on-line and read the later while offline. For your task I think the Gnus
cache (See Gnus info 3.12 Article Caching) might be more appropriate.

Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns?  Given that a
signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to
attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages.  Seize the
opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.
