For heavy use (high traffic) navigating forums is significantly slower

messages does not.
Visually scanning a list of messages is quick... and with OSX mail
threading that list can be much shorter (though I don't use it).
Sorting by Date or author is something I find useful also as well as
searching by key words.
also I have mailboxes see up I can drag message i want to to save to
for reference... can't do that easily in for forums...
Also forums can only be read while on-line... down loaded messages can
be read at your leisure even when you don't have a connection (laptop
or your ISP is having problems)
Mailing lists give me more control overall and are more efficient for
me.
I second all of that ยก;-)
