Doesn't Linux have a decent usenet reader?

Marc, have you tried XPN?
http://xpn.altervista.org/index-en.html

As fas as I know (or as far as apt-cache tells me...) there's no package
for Ubuntu. But one of the nice things about XPN is that you can drop it
in whatever directory you please, and run it from there. No need to
install.

It's written in Python. The GUI could get some love. It has some nice
features I couldn't find in PAN or Thunderbird, and it does the "keep
article" thing right (the threading is "standard" though, based on
subject and not like the one shown in the screenshots you shared)

Disclaimer: I'm not a usenet power-user nor had tried Gravity, so I
don't know if it will suite you... but maybe you can give it a try.

Regards,
