I've been using Mutt for years, and quite happy with it.  There's a
version/patch floating around somewhere that has built-in NNTP support,
but IME it's a little klunky with high-traffic newsgroups.  I just use
the mailing list interface to the D forums, and things work perfectly.

The best part of using Mutt is that it has full threading support, so if
a particular topic doesn't interest you, you can delete the entire
(sub)thread with a single keystroke.  Indispensible for handling busy
forums like this one.
