This is probably redundant, but I would suggest to anybody who's looking for a good interface to work with the volume on this list to use gmail. It threads the discssions better than Kmail did for me, it's there when i want it and I'm not waiting to download anything. And the whole stars-labels thing is brilliant for managing mailing lists. It only works in firefox mind you (I personally prefer opera), but if anybody wants to give it a shot, just email me dotan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I'll send you an invite for gmail.
