Why? What can you do on a mailing list that you can't do on a message
board?
Be involved in many many of them from a standard, user customisable
(read infinitely customisable) system.
Example:

I currently have 100+ mailing lists coming to my mail client on
[email protected].
If 1 list = 1 messageboard, then to be able to easily scan over a
similar number of subject areas would require me to log onto each
individual message board and look at each individual thread.
As all the mailing lists I subscribe to are presented in a standard way,
that I'm allowed to define (threaded with newest threads at the top),
then I'm able to make most efficient use of my time.
