I feel that way about Yahoo and Hotmail (though I haven't used Hotmail
for about 10 years I'd guess) but since there is no free work around
for Yahoo, I am stuck with it.

However with Gmail I really really really like their web interface for
mailing lists.  I would not like it for my day-to-day email like my
personal or business email, but for lists I think it is by far the
best thing I've ever used.

And now my ignorance:
When people talk about conversation-style email, I had always figured
that was threading.  Now I read a lot about people hating Gmail's web
interface because it doesn't thread.  I guess I am saying... I don't
know what threading is and how it differs from Gmail's
"Conversation-Style" email reading.  Anyone care to point me to a
resource showing the difference or explain it to me?

Thanks!
