As far as I know, there is no way to flag a news discussion for follow-up. That is, mark a thread that you want to follow, and have all subsequent messages with the same subject that when you later download, it will be marked in some way.


You can go through the process of creating a rule, and manually add each subject that you want to follow to it, and have that rule mark each one as a certain category and assign a color to it. That gets very annoying though.


Entourage's news reading capabilities are limited. They are enough for your normal posting, threading, receiving, and you can even make rules to messages to simulate news-reader type "follow thread" etc. This is all many people need.


If you require more than that, than I suggest trying out many of the dedicated news-readers available. Look here for a pretty large compilation of Mac OS X news-readers available:
