I use mutt for email. Great threading support. My usenetness has mostly lapsed, 
but I used to funnel groups into my mail filer, read with mutt (same tool for 
news and mail!), and have a script for sendmail which intercepted 
group.name at usenet and send that via NNTP (obviously my puller inserted those 
addresses in the pull).

I use the mailing lists and mutt for reading.
