Depends on the news browsing software you have, but generally when you
look at a message, it is marked as "read". Depending on the options
set in your software, you can choose to see all available messages, or
just the unread ones. If the latter, every time you refresh or purge
the group, you will no longer see the already read messages.

Happy trails,
