For reading and searching, nothing beats markmail

http://r-project.markmail.org/

but posting is not possible. I have been using gmane almost exclusively, but
it's servers are overloaded and posting fails half the time. Nabble is a
good alternative, posting works much better because it does not complain
about "more than 80 characters in a line"; however, the tree is inferior to
gmane because it is collapsed in the overview and you cannot see who has
responded to a thread.
