That's what I'm really looking for: a good web-based mail list archive that 
presents thread's messages in an easy to read manner (one page), keeps several 
years of history (where applicable) and has a good search functionality.

Thanks

 Maybe check out http://markmail.org/ ...

Thanks, though it looks like it requires the use of Javascript and even 
Flash(!) to work properly. :)

You sure a web front-end does the job better? I find them very unfriendly 
and rather chaotic :-?

Ah, this new subject makes more sense ;-)

I still like Gmane for that (using frames and threads style).

Are you looking for a hosted service, or software that you can install?  
If the latter:


There's always hypermail - http://www.hypermail-project.org/

I used to use it as the archiver, back when I ran majordomo-based email 
lists.  Or you could install something like mailman or sympa, and let it 
archive stuff for you - sort of overkill, though.


You might also look at http://www.dbmail.org/ - stores mail in a 
database.  Haven't played with it, but keep meaning to.
