I read and post to this and other Python lists via news.gmane.org (free) 
with Thunderbird. It mirrors 1000s of technical mail lists, including 
200+ with 'python'. I believe it therefore has less spam than c.l.p (ie, 
minus whatever gets filtered out by the pipermail at python.org). First 
post to any list requires a response to an email. Uptime is pretty good.
