If some of them hold public mailing lists, news.gmane.org, which I
mentioned in the next paragraph, may be a solution for them.

For me, it saves me the work of creating a folder, subscribing, and
creating a filter for a mailing list.  And it saves me the work of
tearing everything down when I decide to no longer subscribe to the
list. 

Of course, for some lists, (eg. the DocBook lists ;-) ) I have to
subscribe to the list, and /dev/null the messages from the list, to be
allowed to post from gmane.  mailman lists allows me to subscribe, but
not receive any messages.
