I suppose I'm a bit of a fanatic, for the lists I'm really interested in
I just keep the posts in my Mail directory. When I subscribe to a 
new list, I lurk for a while, and then I usually download the older messages
(usually an mbox file), and import them into KMail using

   Tools->import messages ...

After that I can search them effectively using the hotkey 's'.

I learn a lot that way, but like I said, I'm a bit of a fanatic ...

Also a good way to do it.
