Don't know about "tossing" it into a temporary newsgroup but sorting
out all the djgpp mail into a separate folder can easily be made with
procmail.

Here's the relevant part of my procmail recipe file (.procmailrc):

:1:
^(From:?|To:|Cc:) +djgpp
/home/jtklehto/mail/djgpp

If your system doesn't allready have procmail you can find it at
ftp.funet.fi:/pub/unix/mail/servers/procmail

In addition to the recipe file a .forward file like following is
probably needed (quotes are significant, don't leave them out):

"|IFS=' ';exec /home/jtklehto/bin/procmail #jtklehto"

I hope this helps.
