$ eselect news help Read Gentoo ("GLEP 42") news items Usage: eselect news <action> <options> Standard actions: help Display help text usage Display usage information version Display version information Extra actions: count Display number of news items new Count unread news items (default) all Count all news items list List news items purge Purge read news read <item>...

Mark read news items as unread again all Mark all news items as unread item Number of item (from 'list' action) As you can see, we already have "unread" as an action, so adding it as an option too might be confusing. Besides, "new" is the default option, so you can simply use "eselect news read".
