Modern word processors are versioned, or you can use text and your own VCS, same as with your code. Is your issue that you want to discuss the thing you are collaborating on outside of the tool you are creating it in?

This feels inline with my point? Versioning of documents is better done using other tools. Correspondence is fine over email.

We have some tools integrated with email to help version control things. But the actual version control is, strictly, not the emails.
