Hi,

> So, in what way is --eval useful without an Emacs already running?

When I am not in my office, I read my mail by running SSH into my
desktop machine and starting "emacsclient -nw -a '' -e '(gnus)'".
Usually this starts an Emacs server, but if Emacs is already running,
this will just bring it to the foreground.  In both cases it will
immediately update my Gnus instance.
