Regardless of what usenet reader you use, com.lang.python will have the same spam everywhere. So maybe reading via usenet isn't that useful anyway. I just subscribe to the mailing list and then have a rule in my email filter to stick all list messages in their own folder (or gmail label). I'm using gmail, so I just use gmail's filtering settings. Then I view email using IMAP and a conventional email reader that supports real threading of messages. Works great. A lot of spam is filtered out this way, also. In fact very little spam gets through to my folder between python.org's filtering and gmail's spam detection. I'm subscribed to maybe a dozen email lists, and I filter all of them into their own folders. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
