Articles are never marked as "read" in newsgroups in Alpine. In many newsreaders as soon as a message is read it is removed from your view forever, even though the message still exists in the server,
I am one of the few who still reads Usenet NGs. I use alpine, and I have configured it in "catchall mode". Essentially I press D to "mark for deletion" all messages I read except those pending for replies, or my latest replies. Autoexpunge on exit.
If I want to go back to an older message still on the server, I press & and wait patiently. After a while I can see the old ones, tagged "D" and eventually Undelete a few.
