You seem to be talking about something else. My Usenet usage is not
related to any ISP whatsoever.

Umm ... I guess I'm glad you like it!

But ... I don't *have* an email spam folder in my _Newsreader_. There is
no email here. I'm quite happy with simply Mark As Read to the GG spam.
There is no need to shift those headers someplace else.

Try it with a real newsreader that is not part of an email client. I've
no need to get so involved in what you suggested. One simple line in my
scorefile takes care of it all.

But ... my ISP (which happens to be a cable internet service) is not
involved with my Usenet usage at all, other than to transfer a stream of
bytes between me and my independent Usenet server. My ISP is not
providing me with Usenet servers. (Or email either, for that matter.)

I suppose you could find out who my ISP was if you took a court order
from a judge and knocked on the door of the Usenet server's
headquarters.

Not really... :-)
Might I be so brazen as to suggest you try a *newsreader*?
