Well, thunderbird is a newsreader, so why not use it for usenet as well 
as usenet is also a mailing list system consisting of newsgroups?

I have tried most other newsreaders for linux (a long time ago), and I 
just found pan to be the most easy one to use for me, but that probably 
is a matter of taste, and I am not a newsreader expert.

Maybe somebody else can give you a proper answer.

At least I am using kmail as my e-mail client, and it definitely is not 
very good for handling mailing lists I find   :-)
