It can be a bit misleading though -- some UAs allow you to read 
both mail & nntp with the same interface (e.g., my Thunderbird 
UA).  I read via gmane's nntp, but it's a "mail" program.  I'd 
likely return to reading via email if TB allowed me to kill 
threads & sub-threads in email like it does in newsgroups.
