Probably the group that is getting closest to what you want is the TreeViz group of EoL at the Field Museum. Karen Cranston (cc) has some cool slides on this.
Yes, except that Karen is now at NESCent :-) and she has been directly involved in an iPlant team working on a tree viewer that can efficiently read and display very large trees. She presented that back at the iEvoBio conference.
BTW Arlin - it didn't sound like such a solved problem according to the computer scientists involved in that project. But I'll leave it to Karen to comment further.
The second issue that I don't understand is: what is the proper netiquette when a list message is cc'ed to half a dozen people?
Keep everyone unless you have a good reason to drop someone (such as someone asking to be dropped :). BTW I think most if not all of those copied are on the list anyway (Rick - are you?).
