How does it help you to keep your copy of the information sent
to public mailing lists private or encrypted?

You can actually do both with a small amount of extra setup.  You
can configure a gmail account to allow you to pick up the mail
via pop while still keeping a copy on the server.  Then you
can read messages as they come in with your favorite
interface, deleting as you go but still go back to gmail
with the web interface if you later decide to search the
old messages.  Their search and threaded view is very
nice.
