I used to use Emacs/GNUS for reading mailing lists, but that feels very 1990. Plus, it doesn't sync my scoring across PCs. GMail is wonderful, but it kind of sucks for mailing lists. The essential "mute" feature doesn't even work unless the mail is in the Inbox. I'd read my mailing lists on the Google Groups site, but not all of them are Google Groups. Basically, I'm looking for the "Google Reader" of mailing lists. Any suggestions? | |||

Personally, I use a combination of Gmane, which is a News to mailing list gateway, and slrn, which is a most excellent newsreader. Ao one does not need to receive the mailing list messages. This works well as long as the mailing lists you want are on Gmane, which for me is usually the case, since I mostly read free software mailing lists, and nearly all of them are on Gmane. You can add any mailing list as long as the owner does not object. See the Gmane Subscribe page. Gmane can also be read via the web and has a nice searchable interface. I like reading through slrn because it is pleasant. For example, slrn threads its messages. Also, you can highlight messages that were written by you. HTH. | |||

eliminating three steps of manual configuration each time i join/part a mail-list (.procmailrc filter and .muttrc lists and mailboxes entries) was a major reason i ended up writing a mail client (notmuch style, using browser mailto: for sending, and whatever you want for recieving) views were designed with lists and feed subscriptions in mind. thread is an overview or you can fetch a lifestream-style time-range of posts and clientside filter them down to particular groups configuring mail and feed source is simple, i hope. a footnote, you also need the head version of rack from github due to some Byte-Range features used by the daemon's file handler | |||
