Even in corporate settings? Even in software development forums? Use may
be "declining", but I doubt e-mail is going to go away any time soon.
E-mail lists (or NNTP, darn it! ❤😻gmane😻❤) are less obnoxious than
every software program using their own individual web-based forums
(never mind that web-based forums - and web-based e-mail, for that
matter - are just generally more annoying), and I really don't see
businesses switching to social networks for internal communication.
