It's trivial with a news reader, because unread messages are in boldface.
Which is possible because the messages are sorted linearly in the

When you do a newnews command in NNTP, you tell it a time, not
a thread. Then it grabs everything since that time, and you know
they are new.
Hmmm.... that's an idea though. If it plopped down a "last checked"
time cookie or url param, it could bold the new things on the web too.
That's not quite it. I do not read the newsgroup articles in a chronological
order, so "unread" articles are most definitely not just the new articles since
the last time I looked at the thread.
