Gmail's web interface is completely broken as far as mailing lists are concerned. Conversation view in no way is adequate for the more complex, multi-person threads that are common. Gmail does not preserve the flow and context of such emails. However Gmail over IMAP is adequate. There is the issue of in IMAP gmail will silently through away your replies to messages when they come through the mailing list server, which is a pretty serious and long-standing brokenness. But if you send messages via a different smtp server than gmail's, it doesn't do that. If reading the list from anywhere is important, one can always use a web-based mail client like RoundCube against Gmail's IMAP server. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
