I find that the Gmail interface, and the way it works, is great for mailing lists. Conversations are sensibly stacked making things very easy to read. Labels are easily added to conversations and archiving gets everything out of the way.
Plus, you can search the whole collection.
The worst thing is you can only see 20 messages at a time when searching. Trying to perform some operation on every message satisfying some criteria is a pain in the arse.
I use the Gmail interface exclusively, and general, yeah it works well (particularly like its way of detecting "quoted text"), but I find that once messages have scrolled out of the active view they're very difficult to find again. Unlike a normal mail program, where scrolling down is trivial.
YMMV.
