I've done this here using the ^K command of rn:
Use it when reading news in this group.
It puts you in your favorite editor (see EDITOR in rn(1)), editing a file
called $HOME/News/XXX/KILL. XXX is the name of the newsgroup where all the
"." are replaced by "/". Just add, at the end of the file a line

/^/s

Then, each time you look for new messages in this newsgroup, rn will save 
them in a file $HOME/News/***, where *** is the name of the newsgroup.
