I used to do that but then switched to a web-based mail list archive. It's just more convenient for me as I don't have to download messages for the lists I browse/search only occasionally, plus (better) presentation/search/history/etc.

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.

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.
