I am also finding it very frustrating, after being used to pressing W to 
watch a thread in old Netscape.  So in MT-Newswatcher I have resorted to 
highlighting the threads and followup messages to threads that 
particularly interest me (so far typically the ones I have started  ;) 
and saving them (command-S).

All highlighted messages are saved to a single file (threads can be set 
to split to different files in the preferences) with the name of the 
subject of the first one (?).  To make this work efficiently, I created 
a folder where I want everything saved and set it as the save folder in 
the preferences.  Also, I checked the option "Append if file already 
exists", so if someone posts a followup to a thread I've saved, I can 
just highlight it and click command-S to add it to the end of the saved 
file.

Then if I ever want to revisit my saved news, I can import it into Mail.  
It's a kludge - maybe someone has a better way...?

Cheers,
Vaughan
