Methinks you might be confusing things just a trifle:

- mailman (and majordomo, and sympa, and listserve....) are MAILING LIST
MANAGERS - they're what keeps track of all the people on a list, and
distributes mail to them - you don't use them to read mail (except that
some provide web-based access to archives)

- you READ mailing list, and SEND to them, from a basic email client -
like gmail, or Thunderbird, or Outlook, or Mac's "Mail" program - all of
which include features for sorting and filtering mail, and to a lesser
or greater degree automatically displaying message threads and/or
putting list mail into folders

If you're not happy with the gmail web interface, I'd suggest playing
with different clients that can support "IMAP" access to your mailbox
