As an example: I have a single interface for messages that don't need instant 
response.  It's Microsoft Outlook (for my sins!)  Outlook handles newsgroups 
poorly - they're managed as Exchange public folders, and even that 
functionality is going away.

Adding another place to look for messages doubles the complexity of managing my 
messages.  I cannot easily change my mail client (long story, but a common one 
in businesses).  Therefore the email interface is more functional *for me* than 
the newsgroup interface.  I accept that where there is an unconstrained choice 
of message reader, the balance is likely to be different.
