This is simply false. The way you are using email ruins the structure
it has. What ever email client you are using doesn't appear to quote
properly, you don't reply in-line, and often you don't reply to the
message you're responding do, creating a new email thread instead. How
you use email is defeating its structure. It works just fine for
everyone else.

Web fora have exactly the same problem: That is if you're interested in
historical discussion, you have to look through it all, unless somebody
gardens the good information into documentation.
Plus web fora have numerous other disadvantages: heavyweight clients,
not putting the messaging where I get all my other email, no off-line
reading or composition, typically terrible threading, single point of
failure as the postings are only stored in one place.

Email-based mailing lists has both of these :)
