Hey I like this idea!

I certainly want to see the texts of articles which are rejected.

It would require some special casing though:

junk is currently forwarded (by most sites) onto your feeds.

This still needs to continue for junk.not-in-active,
but not for junk.really-crappy-articles.

And for articles which have frogged message-id, and therefore
wouldn't be in history, some special expiry would have to take place.

Further thoughts?
