  The file .newsrc in your home directory contains the information
  about the newsgroups, their subscription status and the numbers of
  the read articles.  A colon (':') indicates a subscribed group, and
  an exclamation mark ('!') indicates an unsubscribed group.  All you
  need to do for unsubscribing to all newsgroups is to edit .newsrc.
  You can do this with your favourite editor, or

	sed -e 's/:/!/' $HOME/.newsrc > foo
	mv foo .newsrc

  If you use csh, you have to escape the '!' with a '\'.
