Yes. YA-NW (Mac OS) does this; or at least, it should to this as I beat the
author (Brian Clark) over the head with the PAM draft back before jwz went
off to never-never land. I've been somewhat USENET-impaired the last year+
so I'm not 100%, but IIRC it does PAM plus a text blurb and a few other
touches from the draft. A quick check of the revision history reveals:
# 3.0.0b13
# [...]
# Changed how messages which are both posted and mailed are identified
# to the user. The appropriate (consistent with the current draft
# standard) ³Posted-And-Mailed² header is added to both messages, along
# with body preamble text indicating that the message was both posted
# and mailed. Yet Another NewsWatcher now generates its own Message-ID
# header for email messages when a message is both posted and emailed,
# so that it's the same as the one used for the post (assuming that
# neither the mail nor news server replace the supplied message-ID with
# ones that they generate). Note that the above only applies to messages
# without attachments. Messages with attachments never have the added
# header or body preamble text. Messages that are posted with just a
# mail copy going to the poster get their own preamble text, do NOT
# include the ³Posted-And-Mailed² header, and do NOT have the same
# message-ID for the post and email messages (because the body text is
# not identical in both messages). The body text is identical for
# messages without attachments (give or take alterations by the
# encoding method, which may be different for mail and news messages).

See also <URL:http://www.newsreaders.com/>. It's possible one or two of the
other popular Mac OS newsreaders also do his (MT-NW and MacSOUP spring to
mind), but I'm not really familiar with them any more.
