A lot of people have posted some fancy replies to this, telling of packages
that jump through hoops, but I haven't seen any of the simple answers posted.

The command
	readnews -l
will print a list of unread news articles on standard out, without updating
your .newsrc.  (This is a poor man's table of contents.)

If you use vnews, type
	a
and it will show the table of contents for the current newsgroup.

If you use rn, type
	=
and it will show the table of contents for the remainder of the
current newsgroup.
