... and there are many disadvantages!

1 - I (like may others here I expect) use a lot of, mostly technical,
mailing lists.  I can read them *all* in my mail program.  If I had
to use forums to do the same I'd have to connect to 60 or more
different web sites to see all the messages.

2 - I can use the same, familiar, tools for handling all my messages.
I don't have to use the message editor that a forum imposes on me.

3 - Very few forums preserve message threading properly so it becomes 
very difficult to follow messages in sub-threads etc.

4 - I can easily keep useful/interesting messages (or complete
threads) to refer to later, locally on my computer.

etc. etc.
