One way of dealing with this and IMHO a great way to keep with several maillists is to read it from gmane.org with a newsreader. The advantages are that you will see all your posts and your mailbox will be a lot leaner. You will, of course, still need to subscribe to the list from gmail if you want to post, but you can subscribe to the digest instead of individual posts.
