No, you're right. Your original message said "backing up read
messages, and subscribed lists" so I assumed you meant e-mail.

(note I'm not an expert in this, so excuse any inaccuracies)
It should be enough to copy newsrc.eld, it has all the marks and
read/unread information I believe. The problem is that it has all the
other data you may not want to copy as well: gnus-server-alist,
gnus-killed-list, gnus-topic-topology, gnus-topic-alist,
gnus-format-specs, etc. So unless your home setup is exactly like
your work setup, it will probably not work. What may work is to
extract the line(s) for the group(s) of interest and copy those over,
but the server names and group names have to match.
If anyone else knows how to do this, please speak up...
Ted
