The problem w/ gossamer is that you can't reply directly to the posts

have to start a new thread using gmail. Using gossamer, I have to
copy-paste the text of the old message and fragment the thread. (Also,
Gmail's threading is a bit easier to navigate in my opinion.)
Using Gmail is great, but why not just subscribe your Gmail account to the list? You'll have your own archive built up in no time. I wouldn't worry about importing the archives; if you really feel the need to reply to a very old thread, you're probably better off starting a new thread anyway.
Just my $.02.

I do have my gmail account subscribed, but I have this address subscribed too. I read the interesting tidbits as they come through on this account, then delete them to unclutter my mailbox. I signed up with my gmail address quite a while ago as well. At present, my personal MythTV archive is approximately 245Meg!
For my personal case, I have an archive in Gmail because I delete all the posts that don't apply to my setup (out of this subscription address), but I may run into something later and need to search/reply/beg for help. Using Gmail is great for that, so I don't have to break the thread; that way people who search later will have an easier time of it.
I hear what you're saying and you're right to an extent. Setting up a gmail account to archive is a good idea, but if you're just starting your personal archive, it'd be nice to have an option to import a (recent?) backlog of archives rather than starting from scratch.
