This is the best answer I've seen yet!  On checking, all the notes received
in "junk" are indeed >archive days when they arrive on our system.  Not
only does this make sense, but I like it!!  (Just wish I had it
documented somewhere :-? )

The other answer (that notes for non-existing notesfiles will end up
in junk) doesn't seem correct, since notes will automatically create
any newly-received newsgroup.

Thanks for the info!
