I find email is faster to read, easier to navigate, can be archived by me the way I want it and can be presented the way I choose. I'm not stuck with a badly thought out interface and there's minimal opportunity for mucking about by people who appear to think that their "avatar" or use of HTML tags is more important than anything they have to contribute that's relevant to the topic.
