I don't understand, what problem are you experiencing?
Newsgroups are in my experience the best if you use
Gnus. For example gnu.emacs.help - this list/group.
For lists that aren't groups as well, as you already
seem to know (?) you can use mail splitting to make
those mails appear to be newsgroups - not just appear,
in all essence, it is the same (they respond the same
way to commands in the Group buffer, for example).
Splitting may look like this:
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("zsh"
"^\\(Cc\\|\\(Resent-\\)?To\\):.*zsh-\\(announce\\|workers\\|users\\)@zsh\.org.*")
("debian.user"
"^\\(Cc\\|\\(Resent-\\)?To\\):.*debian-user@lists\.debian\.org.*")
("l4"
"^\\(Cc\\|\\(Resent-\\)?To\\):.*l4-hackers@os\.inf\.tu-dresden\.de.*")
("emacs-w3m" "^Subject: \\[emacs-w3m.*")
; ...
("mail.misc" "") ))
How to reply? Use
`gnus-article-followup-with-original'. It is bound to F
but you can rebind it to r (or whatever) if you are not
happy with having to use a two-key stroke for something
that frequent.
Check the headers in the message-mode buffer if you are
in doubt.
The only practical difference I have experienced
between mailgroups and newsgroups (except the small
overhead of setting up split-methods) is faces (fonts).
Those are named differently: instead of
`gnus-group-news-1' (etc.), `gnus-group-mail-1'.
