When using mailing lists, You can mark, sort, delete. etc
unwanted/uninterested messages, and keep only the interesting ones.. Also
you can search through your own archives...

But why not do a combination? I guess that most mailing lists (at least
Mailman) can be hooked to a news-server... A news-server can then have a web
interface, so I would say that this combination would make most people happy
(maybe even those who prefer forums?).
