A point I hadn't considered. However, the FUDforum software does
have an automatic email component. Perhaps FUDforum people can
give us some kind of opinion / guidance on what it would take to
enhance this function. I.E. Allow people to subcribe to the
forum as automatic mail recipients. In addition, they'd need to
be able to email the threads. I imagine the first would be easy
to do. The second might not be so easy.

This would give us the best of both worlds, forum and email
list.
