Regardless of what usenet reader you use, com.lang.python will have the
same spam everywhere.  So maybe reading via usenet isn't that useful anyway.

I just subscribe to the mailing list and then have a rule in my email
filter to stick all list messages in their own folder (or gmail label).
I'm using gmail, so I just use gmail's filtering settings.  Then I view
email using IMAP and a conventional email reader that supports real
threading of messages.  Works great.  A lot of spam is filtered out this
way, also.  In fact very little spam gets through to my folder between
python.org's filtering and gmail's spam detection.

I'm subscribed to maybe a dozen email lists, and I filter all of them
into their own folders.
