Most of the email clients I'm familiar with don't support threaded
displays and most of the web forums I'm familiar with do (although the
feature is not always switched on).

In my experience the debate between mailing list vs. web forum can
become very emotional (especially when discussed via a mailing list)
and I don't think it is that productive. Some people like one, some
people like the other. That's why I think that it is useful to give
people a choice.
