My python Product for Zope can display mails as threads. It reads the
messages from a directory. You could get the messages with nntplib and
then use OOPServer for displaying them.

You can get the source from http://guettli.sf.net. Unfortunately the
online demo does not include the email module.

Beside displaying threads you can search for authors and text in the
messages.
