Gmane is a mail-to-news-and-back gateway which also does archiving of the mails.

AFAICT there is no cost involved, have a look at http://gmane.org/about.php 
for more information. You can subscribe your list via 
http://gmane.org/subscribe.php and you can even import old list archives (see 
http://gmane.org/import.php) so that there is a complete history of the 
mailing list as a news group.

Every single ML I'm following (boost.*, gcc bugs, gcc patches, emacs cc mode, 
emacs dvc devel, emacs bugs, emacs help, ...), has registered itself with 
gmane, so I'm kind of surprised that you never heard of it.

For mail I have no choice but to use Outlook, for NNTP reading I'm using 
Thunderbird. This explains my motivation to use news groups instead of mail 
pretty well, I think. :-)
