I think the issue is not use of email as such, but use of mailing-lists.
In my experience the reluctance to use email is that they feel
uncomfortable sending email to a potentially large number of persons.
In contrast posting on a forum doesn't impose anything on anyone (in
their mind) because those who read it have to actively go and look
for it.
