While I don't use it, that's a surprise.  You sure you're not talking 
about Camino (browser only)?  Mozilla should also support it.

Yeah, must admit I'm a bit disappointed that Apple don't include this in 
one of their apps, although I do prefer a separate newsreader.

That's what I'm using.  I'd be happier if it didn't create so many 
windows but it works very well and the keyboard shortcuts make it fast 
once you know them.  I've tried Mozilla but found it a bit too 
heavyweight and it doesn't look so good on OS X because it's 
cross-platform.

Ciao,
