My sympathies. There are, however, many good, list-capable alternatives 
for those stuck with Microsoft Windows, even if you don't have access 
to a shell account on a proper computer.

There's mutt under cygwin:

There is also a port of mutt for 32-bit, although it apparently hasn't 
been updated in a couple of years:

Unixmail for Windows bring you mutt and several other powerful tools all 
nicely bundled up:

gnus should also work under Windows:

Mozilla Thunderbird also has some limited list handling ability:
