Yes, they have the potential for archiving and search, but having to go to them, instead of messages coming to you, makes them vastly inferior for many people.
This is the main point for me. Mail lists come to me - I belong to ten currently, but it's been more. The idea of having to go and log in to ten different forum sites on a regular basis is not something I welcome. I sort of see your point about Newsgroups since you can aggregate them in one window and do the other things you mention. I used to be very active on Newsgroups back in the 90's till mail lists started getting traction - I can't remember what made me conclude that mail lists were better at some point...it seems to me it had something to do with wild, wild west vs. increased civility _g_
