As a non-emacs man I use something simpler. Much of the bulk of a newsgroup can be attributed to responses to earlier mailings. I tend to junk these, thereby reducing the length of the newsgroup so that later use of '=' is manageable. i.e. I type /string/h:j to remove postings with a common header. Not sophisticated, but it can help.
