Although I didn't go into in the article, I do use Thunderbird to manage a number of technical mailing lists as well. For this I use the newsreader built into Thunderbird, along with Gmane. This works better than slrn in my opinion, which I also replaced in the switch.

I encourage people to try newsreader+GMANE to manage mailling list traffic. I explain more in this posting. It was written in my slrn era, but the concept still apply.
