Your email program would hopefully do the job.  With luck you can simply
import the archive.  If importing doesn't work, let us know.

I am not sure how easy it would be to get the mailman archive management
up and working on your windows pc.  mailman was set up for apache and
sendmail in the rpm that I used to install it on my linux server.  While
you wouldn't care about the mail server part, you would need to get a
web server running in conjunction with mailman.  Hopefully importing
each archive into your email program as separate folders is feasible.
