The latest version of netnews permits one to unsubscribe to the newsgroup
to which the current article belongs by using the u command. This is
implimented by changing the : following the newsgroup name in the .newsrc
file to a ! thus eliminating the need to have huge options lines of the form
options -n all !xxx !yyy !....
which overflow the capabilities of news.
