I have seen and used other systems that use a email system integrated with a forum board. But the only ones I have seen only archive the messages. The real activity is on the email lists only.
It has been a while since I used one of them so I don't recall a url at the present moment.
Even though a list server is a little outdated is is still fairly popular today. Especially with some of the older members of my group. So I would tend to agree it would be a nice to have. If possible.
BTW most of my users prefer to communicate by email only also.
I have tried to convert them but with little success.
But it took 10 years to get them to use email, let alone a list server. Then trying to move them to a forum board is like pulling teeth.
