I tried reading mailing lists in gnus in emacs, but emacs stops responding with the slow nntp servers downloads. nabble, gmane etc are also kind of slow. So I thought about download the gzipped archives available from most mailing lists. here are some nice instructions to import these archives into thunderbird. Is there a similar streamlined way to read the unziped archives in emacs, or other software ?

This depends on the file format of the archive and the reader you use. The file behind the link in your question seems to be in mbox format. Most people use Gnus to read mail and news in Emacs. The Gnus FAQ explains how to import an mbox file: http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_400.html | |||
