I find that using the "archive to tag" + "skip inbox" filter features in Gmail is very convenient. The threaded interface and search is great. Once upon a time I used a dedicated Gmail account to store LKML (100K's messages) and it worked wonderfully.
If you want to browse mailing lists that you aren't subscribed to then your options are limited to interfaces that are either 1) supported by the mailing list provider or 2) an interface to the list that is "subscribed". For instance, LMKL provides its own interface at lkml.org. Many mailing lists can be found at groups.google.com. The gmane and marc.info services also provide interfaces to many mailing lists. A popular mailing list services called Mailman often provides a public interface to archives, an example of which is the ceph-users mailing list http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com/.
