I guess that mail lists are just what people are used to, not what is

news are good when you have a broadband permanent access. When you have
only a 33.6 modem, mail is much better/cheaper

Even with broadband, having the forums loose on unneeded HTML and
gimmicks would be a win.

The NNTP side is plaintext - you can connect a newsreader (and I know
some mail clients - Thunderbird, Evolution, and I think KMail) to
forums.novell.com and see how the forums look that way.
