I'd just like to point out that this message, being a simple one-liner

a mailinglist, where the context is more likely to get separated from

this mailing list will become unintelligible to me when read as email.
You make a good basic point, but then again, for someone who has been
following a thread, the context in an email message can become
annoying, and the messages from Jive include a link to the thread, so
the context is readily available for those who are looking for it.
I guess we'll just have to see. Certainly GMane and Nabble work more
or less as Jive will, and they haven't crippled the lists.
