Hi - would be nice if admins on this discourse would enable mailing list mode with reply enabled. I have used mailing list mode on other discourse forums and I am able to keep connected with those forums from my mailbox.
Thanks for your request - I just enabled the option to enable mailing list mode.
Regarding the reply by email - that requires some additional work and honestly I don’t think we’re going to go down that path at this time, but it’s something we can revisit when the forum gets some more activity.
