How can collapse my newsgroup listings?

Instead of having a mess of RE:,RE:,RE:, is there a way I can make it like
Outlook, where they can all be grouped under one subject heading, then click
on a "plus" sign to open the replies for that subject.

I've clicked on the "subject" heading and that helps, but it's still a mess
to scroll through. Am I being too demanding?

I'm having a hard time sorting through the threads.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

I've set up a custom arrangement (View > Arrange By > Edit Custom
Arrangements). It looks like this:

Group items by: Subject
Sort groups by: Sent Newest on Top
Sort items within groups by: Sent Oldest on Top
Default display for groups: Expanded

Fantastic. Thanks for the excellent response, Mickey. You gave me exactly
what I was looking for. I can finally enjoy reading my newsgroups again.

I do appreciate it.

Thanks again.
