Reader Damon subscribes to a lot of mailing lists that he doesn't need to reply to, but he doesn't like using his Gmail account to keep up with them. Instead, he wants to read his mailing lists in Google Reader. Here's how he works around this problem:
Set up a filter in Gmail so that it forwards e-mails coming from the mailing list to whatever@mailbucket.org
Now, you can retrieve a feed from mailbucket.org/whatever.xml (replace whatever in the e-mail address and the feed address with something unique to make sure it's not already in use)
Couldn't get much simpler than that. Now not only can Damon read his lists in Google Reader (or any newsreader, for that matter), but they're still fully searchable within Gmail. Check out how another reader turned email to RSS with temporary email service DodgeIt.
