the best system is probably not mailing-lists but news forums. I don't say so to make one other fork, but for some reasons:
- meeting discussion may probably have valid forks. Forks are easy to manage with news threads, the threads are not so easy to manage in mails.
- somebody can feel unconcerned by a thread and suddenly realise he is not. it's always possible to answer a news, even some hours later, if you deleted a mail, you can't anymore answer from the archives
- it's possible to cancel a post, specially if it seems OT or erroneous
- it's possible to moderate the forum after the fact, giving the possibility to a moderator to cancel a post if it is giving too OT, even possibly after some sort of vote or mutual agreement. it's very difficult to stop a troll on a mailing list

Time zones, typing skills, availability of information about topic in real time, are real problems. and so far I can see moderated mail list, as mentioned in other post, will solve all of them at once.
