Thoth displays newsgroup articles similar to Finder List View (and you
can open individual topics up into their own windows) ... there's a
little triangle icon next to any topics with multiple replies that you
can click on to toggle a hierarcical structure. Not really what I'd
call a "tree", as in Family Tree diagrams or flow charts, but I've
never seen any newsreader or forum software that does that (not that
that means there aren't any) and it would be rather messy to try and
use on smaller displays.
