I've been using emails as Sherri does, for post-fourway memoranda.

and scheduling communications can be handled this way, but that
substantive discussions outside the fourway meeting room should not
be initiated in emails [snip]
I agree with Pauline. However, another way email can be used,
cautiously, is for "off-line" communications with your collaborative
counterpart. With [and only with] the agreement of the parties, I and
other counsel may use email and phone communications to discuss a
concern with our counterpart that is not passed directly on to the
client. In such cases, it is very important to label the email as
"confidential" or equivalent.
