I think Gmail handles mailing lists pretty well.  It works just fine
with this list.  I just added a filter that labels and archives all
mail to the list.  Gmail handles the threading very well and will even
let you see old messages you previously deleted for each thread.

But obviously, I only see the mail since I joined the list.  Which is
why the list gets so many "I don't know if this has been discussed
before" emails.

well, as newsgroups go in their own folder tree its not hard at all.

mailing lists is a different story, but you can allways set up a filter
that puts new mails from the list into its own folder. and yes, you can
have them all sorted by thread if you want to...
