        Excuse my ignorance, but wouldn´t it be solved using the fetch´s ¨-n¨
parameter? According the manpage:

       -n     Don't unlink files in the interesting.groups direc­
              tory. This avoids automatic unsubscription of news­
              groups.

        Or I misunderstood your problem? Bye!
