I currently have my Thunderbird sorted descending by date, then within
each thread, sorted ascending by date. IIRC, this is the same behavior
with GNU Mailman archives. Just a matter of clicking the thread tab in
the view a couple times until it's sorted the way you want.

Mutt does this by default. Mail is sorted by threads in ascending order,
as well as each mail in the thread. This can be configured as well in
your ~/.muttrc.
