<br>
a) they work offline<br>
b) the mails are right there in my inbox in the morning, no new workflow is needed<br>
c) Apple mail automatically groups the mail by thread so that problem is a non issue for me.<br>

>>> Can you describe what you like about mailing lists? To me, the lack of proper formatting, lack of control over links, and duplication of content are minuses. IMO, online forums like Discourse do a much better job of keeping topics organized and accessible (plus, you can choose to have notifications sent via email if that's your preferred medium).
