I also like mailing lists.  With them I can:
1) Keep track of what I've dealt with and what still needs attention
2) Mark threads as uninteresting and not see them again
3) Consolidate the communication of multiple projects on one screen if desired

I don't know of any other system that allows those capabilities.

"mute" button in gmail or the equivalent in Exchange 2010, #3 is the
inbox and history in conjunction with labels or search.)
