Viewing redhat lists in a nice threaded way ?

Is there a web site that archives the redhat lists, but actually has a 
decent UI ?

I've looked at:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/
dislikes:
- can only view either summary {thread list} or an individual message
- confusing when you follow along the path of a thread, and then there 
are multiple postings that come from that, and so-on
- Archive by Thread has no dates indicated. Are newer threads at the top 
or bottom ?
- link follow-ups: don't continue into the next month {because the 
archive must be cut at the end of month}. Hence a discussion may start 
and then goes nowhere {without searching}
- no word search.

like:
- can search
dislikes:
- search by subject lists all lists, not just the list you are interested in
- individual messages aka the redhat archive.

google {"specific string" site:www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list}
like:
- usually find relevant discussions
dislike:
- structure of the discussion - threading not explicit.

google-groups with view as tree is good once you have found a thread you 
want to look into. Only does groups, not mailing lists.

Is there some other web based viewer of the redhat lists, that presents 
it more like an email client such as thunderbird - ie panes/frames for 
lists|threads|thread structure|bodies ?
