I use qmail as an MTA and Mutt as MUA. I subscribe to each list with a
different email address, such as marcus-crypto-qmail@xxx.xxx and have
a .qmail file such as .qmail-crypto-qmail deliver the emails into a
tree of Maildirs in ~/email. Once the email's in the box, you can't
beat Mutt with a stick.

As a pleasant side effect, spambots pick up email addresses that I can
stop accepting mail for if the spam gets bad (after I unsub the list,
of course..)
