I use procmail on our IMAP server to filter list messages into a 
special mail box, separate from my regular mail. For reading I use 
Apple Mail, which I'd call a "normal mail client", but it does support 
threading. I used Mozilla Thunderbird before, which I can recommend, 
too.

[Even more OT] Funny fact: there is an increasing number of people who 
equate email with a web mail interface. They seem to coincide with 
those people preferring web forums over mailing lists, because those 
are nicely threaded. *sigh*
