NNTP doesn't need .newsrc.eld, does it? IIRC, Gnus should pick up new information from .newsrc, if it is newer than .newsrc.eld. For flags, syncing ~/News/marks/ should suffice, if the marks stuff is working for nntp. >> Getting rid of .newsrc.eld would be nice.

The above might work. Naturally, I haven't tested it.
