You don't HAVE to fire up a web browser to read archives. Keep them on your own disk. For example, Gnus (comes with Xemacs) lets you keep archives for each of your mailing lists. You can set a max age for messages in a particular archive so it will delete old ones automatically. The archive is also nice for seeing a message in its proper place in a thread, so you can read what it was a response to.
