Pressing M-g should do the latter. Completely ignoring .newsrc.eld would be useful (I would want to get rid of that file completely, but that's a long-term goal), but I'm not sure it is possible. The data in there is used by lots of functions, and there is no good API to the data. (Originally, I guess this was a feature, but I'm not sure it is today.)
