The following is my version of a mvjunk.  It attempts to mv the
articles where they belong and also creat directories and newsgroups.
It will handle multiple newsgroups in a article but may make a second
posting.  It doesn't use inews for the posting since inews will reject
the article.  It doesn't update the active file but leaves a list
around for manual editing:

Use and abuse;  it's free, take it for what it's worth:
