Someone will probably point you to the mail2news program (you can use FTP Search[1] to find it) but I'd like to give another way: Use Mutt[2]. It is a mail user agent, loosely based on Elm/PINE, written from scratch by Michael Elkins[3]. It supports threading for mail (by using either a References: or a In-Reply-To: header). You can find more information about it on the Mutt home page[2] or Sven Guckes' page[4].
