I at least make sure all my work mails are numbered lists:

1. Easy for replies to refer to a certain portion of my mail (just mention the number)

2. Lists result in shorter emails with less fluff - always an advantage for work related communication

3. Especially for people with less writing skills, lists make it clearer what the priorities are. “Item 4” is of more importance than “Item 2b”. If you’re only using words, you need mastery of language to convey that.
