Oopsy, I almost forgot -- I know the answer to the second part of that
question... Yes, the News-by-Mail facility has the collapsing/coalescing
property.
In fact, since all the mailing list messages sent by the server come to you
at a single address by default, you actually have to do a bit of work to
split them apart into multiple groups if you want to see them that way.
The simplest way to split the mailing list messages into their original
groups is to ask your email software to sort messages by the 'From:' field
(this is supported by virtually every email package). Of course, this
doesn't actually break them apart into separate folders, but you'll see
all the castle messages together, all the robotics messages together, etc.
The fancier way is to set up inbox filters in your email application, so that
it automatically files incoming messages into folders that you specify. So,
if you wanted, you could have all the castle messages go into a Castle folder,
all of the robotics messages go into a Robotics folder, etc. The field to
match on here is also the 'From:' header of the messages.
