I meant groups that you are indeed unsubscribed and yet you have not visited
before. In my case slrn updates that number of unread posts for groups I
visited once even those unsubscribed. In fact I just noticed that when
subscribing to a group it does not do that count. I does it only when visiting
the group.

Yeah when I was starting using slrn I ran it once with --create. Anyway, there
should a command that would update the whole list at once.
