Not for me -- I don't use rss feeds normally so they would create a
extra hurdle for me. And mail a IMHO has a important benefit: It will
always land in my Inbox -- I don't have to remember to look at the feed
once a day.

Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned in this context. But I'm probably not the
only one.

P.S.: I don't like Webforums for the same reasons -- mail from several
mailing lists with different topics is always delivered to one place (my
inbox) and I don't have to browse to X webforums (with Y different
interfaces) daily to see what's new ("push vs. pull")
