Actually, it's even worse, now that I've taken a closer look.  You
only get a thread view, so you have to fetch not only the thread view,
but also every single thread to find the Message-ID's of the new
messages.  So `M-g' on such a group would take quite a while.

Is there some other interface I'm not finding?
