I agree that it is not normally a good idea to try turning a
mailing list into something that generates revenue directly
(through selling advertising space or even trying to charge
for subscriptions).
However you can use a mailing list to win the trust and goodwill
of subscribers, and if you sell some product or service that is
somewhat related to the topic of the list, then the list can be
an important part of your marketing plan.
