Someone suggested gnus; it's power can be scary though... Another option
is to use a console mailer like 'mutt' and a console news reader like
'slrn' inside emacs.
In your ~/.muttrc, you can add something like:
set editor="emacsclient %s +8 -a emacs"
In your ~/.slrnrc, you could add something like:
set editor_command "emacsclient '%s' +%d -a emacs"
(Obviously, slrn and mutt need some more setup; the information can be
found on their websites)
In your .emacs, you can add something like:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
'("\\.*mutt-*\\|.article\\|\\.followup"
. mail-mode))
And something like this to start emacs-server:
(server-start)
Now, inside emacs you can start mutt or slrn in a terminal; you can make
shortcuts for that, see:

Good luck!
Best wishes,
Dirk.
