I used news2mail and mail2news for a long time for mostly private
newsgroups and mailing lists, and it seemed adequate.  I can't quite
recall which way it went, but it made a lot more sense to do news
first and mail later (or the reverse) although that didn't seem
obvious at first.

The main reason for doing it, though, was the archive nature of
netnews, once one turns off expiry.  I have no Internet News access,
so, no, I don't care, but being able to point a newsreader (I thought
for a while that Netscape had a reasonable implementation, but I'm
told Free Agent is better in the Windows World) at a host, if
necessary with access control, would appeal to me immensely.
