My biggest problem with Citadel (at least on the implementations I've used)
is its complete >lack< of message threading.  There is absolutely no way to
follow a reply thread, no way to indicate a reply to another message.

In this, the two systems are completely antagonistic.

There is one version of Citadel I have used which is capable of importing 
Usenet messages, but it seems to have little else going for it.
