Some of us actually like mailing lists. The current configuration is half way there; I can get new posts as email, and threading seems to work. The missing step is replying via email (I guess starting new threads by email would be cool too, but I can live without that). There are a couple of howtos on the Discourse site for how to enable this (I’m guess this site is self hosted, because apparently the discourse inc. hosted sites are already configured this way.

Sorry, we get way too much spam to open up another door via email, and also don’t have the resources to configure and administer this feature at the moment.
I understand that the lack of resources trumps other issues, but for completeness I should mention that (at least the way the racket folks have theirs set up), spam is probably not an issue in practice, since only people with discourse accounts can post via email. I can talk to the relevant people in the racket community if/when someone is considering pursuing this.
