You could use rules to colorize any messages whose "references" header
contains your address.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

You'll find MT-NewsWatcher a way better news reader in this regard, BTW.

It does take a little getting used to, yes. Once you have it set up and
have become familiar with the way it works, however, you'll find it is
one or the most feature-rich news clients available. Its filtering
abilities (rules) in particular are arguably the best of them all.

True, but you can make it apply the rules to older messages by selecting all the
messages in the group and using the Message - Apply Rules menu command.

MT-NW is much better than Unison in almost *every* regard, except for
downloading binaries.

Thank you!! Didn't think of trying that, very helpful!

How "bad" is it at downloading binaries does it not support it or what?...
I use unison for binaries quite a lot, i would say the same if not more
than the newsgroups.

It supports it and it works well. It's just not quite as user friendly,
I imagine. MTNW is free, so if you are interested, you can try it
yourself.

So Unison only supports a single level on undo, too? Hard to believe of
a modern Cocoa application.

MT-NW makes the user initiate everything. It doesn't autofetch headers,
and it doesn't queue up downloads. That is a bit of a pain when it
comes to a lot of binary groups that have 100K+ posts every day. On the
flip side, MT-NW is very scriptable, and I long ago wrote a script that
goes through all my groups and pre-fetches as many headers as it can.
That speeds user-oriented things up greatly. Unison, sadly, was
sloooooooow in downloading headers, so it keeping a database locally
wasn't a win, and the crappy filtering made me ditch it althogether.
Since binary groups are so much more full of junk than regular groups,
not having adequate filtering is simply a non-starter.
