That's correct - each newsgroup is stored in a seperate file, so a
single message posted to multiple newsgroups will have multiple copies,

How do you get this information?

I tell my NNTP client to keep a copy of all new messages that come
across.  Makes it much easier to find something later if I can use the
more advanced search tools I have locally, instead of relying just on
the lugnet search box.

So since I keep all the messages anyway, running some reports on them is
just a matter of programming.
