  Use nnsub and eep.  See the enclosed documentation to see which you
  prefer. [note: only available in 6.5.0 beta].

  The standard method is to run:

  	nngrep -a | sed -e 's/ *$/!/' > .newsrc		# add \ before ! in csh

  and then edit .newsrc, replacing the '!'  with a ':' for those
  groups you're interested in.

  I think a nice way is to use the catch-up facility.  Start nn -a0
  and let nn catch up automatically.  After some hours restart nn and
  unsubscribe to uninteresting groups having news articles.  Restart
  nn the following day and continue unsubscribing.

  After one week, you have a nice .newsrc.
