Summary: well, you could look at .newsrc's


One basis for finding out what newsgroups are being read
would be a program to seek out all the .newsrc files,
and look at each entry in them.  It would consider a newsgroup
to be being read if [1] it was subscribed to, and [2] there is
not a large count of unread items (determined by comparing with active).

No, I haven't written one.
