heh, and I thought the opposite - forums for the newbies support and 
regular development / idea discussion on mailing lists :).

Personally, I think that email software is far superiour and more 
(time-)efficient than a web based solution, but I see that others 
(usually newbies, in my biased world-view :-) ) disagree. What might be 
nice would be a forum<->mailing list gateway, similar to 
<http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2/Users_F11/>, but with 
posting capabilities. Isaac's concern of invalid From email addresses 
could be addressed with requiring a working email address for 
subscribers (and only allowing subscribers to post, of course), if you 
handle the bounces :).
