May suggest you roll your own and ask mike to point a subdomain in your  
direction.
Personally I want Phlogs!

There are pros and cons to both.  However, as you point out, filtering
is generally easier with mail than on web forums.  Archiving is
another feature lists bring.

Of course, filtering on a phone is typically not so great. I use
IMAP and have all of my mail filters handled by a core thunderbird
client that is always running.  Except when it is not for some
reason, then the email client on my phone becomes practically
unusable ;).

If you use IMAP, look into using sieve.  My list mail is delivered
directly into my list folder hierarchy, it never hits my "Inbox"
proper.  I have to manually go looking into the folders on the phone.

I've used sieve in the past and it is nice. I don't run my own personal mail servers anymore though, it just became too much of a hassle.

On a related noted, Thunderbird threaded viewing is doing a bang up job of keeping this thread readable and together, even with all of the subject line changes. I think it is using magic.

Let me know if you change your mind.  I've got it integrated with
dovecot for authentication, running managesieve across TLS.  I manage
my sieve scripts in Thunderbird.
