However -- I belong to a number of forums. They are all structured (at 
least the ones to which I belong). Depending on the the webmail client, 
it might be possible to have some structure, write rules to send 
incoming mail from an elist to a dedicated subfolder so not just in 
inbox. But further separation by topic as would be in a forum? So I 
would consider forums quite different and question the actual experience 
(with forums) of any users who would find elist => webmail at all similar.

A forum (instead of elist) might be an idea. Many forum clients allow 
users to set notification by email when a topic has a new posting.
