If you tell trn to junk an article then it gets junked in all groups.  If
you wanted to kill it in all other groups but this one, you could junk it
and then mark it as unread:

	/,/Hnewsgroups:jm

In trn 3.6 there's a command to junk an article only in the current
group (/search/:x) so to do the opposite of what you want, you'd use
/,/Hnewsgroups:x.

Some people use this to weed out discussions in a group without affecting
a topic that is cross-posted to a more interesting group.
