I'm still not convinced mutt should be a newsreader. But Michael Elkins has mentioned an interest in creating a plug-in system for mutt, which I think would be a fairly nice way to add NNTP support without having to patch mutt itself. I think it's a good idea, and one I've even started on myself a couple of times in the past.
