I have an archived filesystem.
If I accidently caught up news, I could delete my current
.newsrc and replace it with a day / 4 hour etc old .newsrc.
and I would once again know which news was new to me,
and what was already read.

What if I accidently catch up a mail group ?

(Oh, I never run any expires.)

My mail groups are fed as follows:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "private")))

(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(
   ("red-hat.general"   "^Resent-From: redhat-list@redhat.com")
        ("ding"       "^To: ding@ifi.uio.no")
...
