Gnus in XEmacs is what I use.  Has GUI features (menus, mousey links,
etc) in addition to tons of features, the most important being the best
message editor with auto-formatting, speel checking, etc.  Plus it's
infinitely customizable (keys, menues, mail headers, ...).

It handles mail and newsgroup msgs almost the same.  It does filtering
and splitting into "folders" from which msgs can be made to expire or
can moved to other folders.  You can have it compute and tag msgs with a
"value" so that important stuff is listed first.  Does threading.

Everyone should at least install XEmacs and browse the Gnus "info"
pages.  I think you'd need to use these ports.  There are more.

/usr/ports/editors/xemacs
/usr/ports/editors/xemacs-packages
/usr/ports/editors/xemacs-comm-packages
