Depending on why the OP wants to do this, this might not work. If the reason
they want to extract some articles from a spam group is because they are not
spam, then that might mean they want to actually remove those articles from the
spam group, so that they aren't learned as spam. With this method, you can't
actually move articles _out_ of the group/file, can you?
