I believe, that Nabble does something like this. And there may be other Forum-Mail-Gateways out there as well. Sorry, for the example from the "competitor" :) At LibreOffice we have Nabble setup and users can use the forum like interface to send messages to the mailinglist. Replies from others to the mailinglist get postet to the forum too. So everyone can use the system he/she prefers. You do need to register with Nabble before you can post, but that's something you would have to do with a "proper" forum as well. So no extra barrier. At LibreOffice, each mailinglist has its own "forum" so you can search just the part of the forum you're interested in.
