Just tried unison and it works great. Threads are folders and you can press
right arrow to open the folder and down arrow through your messages. It's
like the mail interface. nice.

I specifically described my situation before and was told that the mail
program that comes with Tiger doesn't support newsgroups.
Okay, sorry I was confused, but the key term you should be using is
usenet. All email programs support standard common listserv style
news groups not. Most email programs do not support usenet news
groups. That's like expecting your email program to be a web browser.
It has been so long, happily, since I used Outlook Express that I
forgot it had a news reader feature.
I would recommend you try OSXnews or Unison. Both are newer usenet
news readers and deliberately modeled to have an interface similar to
Mail. I tried both with VoiceOver and didn't have any problems as far
as I took it, but neither is a program I have any experience with.
Version Tracker is your friend. These two products are at:
