Yes, it's the one saving grace of a Discourse forum, you can use it by E-Mail and it behaves quite nicely with a text mode E-Mail client such as mutt so you can keep threads separate, follow sub-threads, etc. Not quite as good as this list gatewayed to usenet though, there's really nothing so good as usenet for proper discourse (!). -- Chris Green ยท
