Why would a newsgroup be any different?

If you use a threaded mail-reader (mutt rulz!), and procmail all
your mail into tidy, seperate folders, all is well ....
EXCEPT, MZ uses a broke-dick mail program that strips out
reference headers and adds (fwd) to all his mail's subject.
It makes _all_ of his mail clump together seperate from what
he is answering ... :(

mutt also allows you delete entire theads with a simple ^D ...
(which, of course, never include MZ's non-threaded responses, arg!)
