An article accepted and fed into the junk newsgroup is recorded in the
history.  It is different than a rejected article (here, when wanttrash
is set to true, it means that articles posted to unknown articles are
no longer trash articles -- but malformed articles for instance are
still trash).

And the articles are still present in the history?
