TLDR version: I've decided to go with newsgroup rather than subscribe,
and Thunderbird rather than GNUS.
have we established the following ?
3 routes:
- subscribe to mailing list with your email address
- simply view the newsgroup
- RSS
Some apps:
- Gmane website
- MS Entourage
- Emacs GNUS
- Wanderlust
- Thunderbird
It was right on topic for me, I was thinking about writing a similar
question for the last week or so.
However, I don't think I'll make it all the way to mailing list sorcerer
in one fell swoop.
I did finally get Emacs GNUS working yesterday (ugh, in January I
decided it wasn't possible with my account), but I couldn't get
comfortable in it fast enough. I'm tentative about subscribing, so I
tried to learn how to be a GNUS _newsgroup_ sorcerer. But before I made
much progress, I found mention that Thunderbird could operate as a
newsreader, so I'm now using that, and it's nice enough for me, for now.
I would like to learn to better use GNUS at some point.

The extended version:
I was using almost exclusively the Gmane website, which was fine as it
was easy to encounter during google searches, but it was not great for
emailing the list. For one, it seemed to be double spacing my carefully
crafted messages.
I do like the easy fashion in which I can star messages in Thunderbird,
and I can take a gradual approach to the learning curve as far as
controlling which messages I can see or exist, while using the
beginner-friendly CUA style.
But now that I've achieved a vast improvement over using just the Gmane
website, I will be reading carefully for set ups that work even better.
