This message (and I believe at least one of the preceding ones) ignores
the fact that the NEWSRC environment variable can be used to move the
.newsrc around.  It doesn't have to reside in the user's home directory.
Of course, if the user changes the file name as well as the directory then
there's not much hope of finding it.
