Gnus can handle all that, Additionally, it has an adaptive
scoring mechanism, that learns about topics you are interested in,
and topics and posters that one rarely reads can progressively get
even lower score. Additionally, emails in a mailing list can be
threaded, and threads listed in score order, so the most interesting
threads are up front.
I read all my mailing lists, as well as my USENET news, using
Gnus. (and VM for important messages, but that is mostly historical
preference).
