UQWK always deletes the REPLIES file when it is done, even when it
couldn't send the mail or connect to the NNTP server. It's been
a while since I last checked the source, but I think it uses a
non-zero exit code to indicate a failure.

Not without some code hacking to the source. You can wrap uqwk in
a shell script which writes the message. This even saves you some
typing to get the command line parameters right:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting uqwk, please wait..."
uqwk -m -n +L -RREPLIES
echo "I'm Done!" 1>&2

This last line writes the "done" message to standard error.
