With all the power that Entourage has, it would just take little things -
such as smarter threading - to make it worthy in newsreading. In fact, I
will switch my newsreading to Entourage if such threading is implemented. It
has everything I want for newsreading, except threading by date.

Which means that it would take a limited number of additions to make it good
enough for those who don't use it for newsreading.
