I believe I have the answer for those prepared to use webmail. (I'm sorry this therefore won't suit those on dial-up.)
Get a Gmail account and subscribe to individual messages. Gmail works brilliantly for my genealogy email list subscriptions. It groups messages together by subject - so you get a whole string filed together. It hides text repeated from earlier emails giving you the option to "Show quoted text". It has 1Gb capacity so encourages users to archive emails rather than delete them - it then uses Google technology to search those archived messages where necessary. You can set up filters to identify, for example, all messages to the Legacy list or all emails sent directly to you. As you can see I'm a bit of a convert. I've got no connection with the product - just a satisfied customer. Gmail is still in beta so is only available by invitation but I've got 50 invitations to give away so would be happy to forward them to listers if they drop me an email.
