However, I think B news could do this reasonably well by sorting each newsgroup by title and within title by post date. It would then be an easy improvement to have it tell you how many more followups there are. Of course, this doesn't solve the store-and-forward problem, since several people at different places can follow up at the same time and their messages won't reach each others machines for hours. But it would help a lot.
