discourse mailing list mode - non-JavaScript way to interact with the discourse forums

Need to figure out how to use this. If any changes by forum admin are required. I’ve changed the e-mail user trust level to new user (any user). I’ve enabled e-mail based creation of new subject in support forums for testing. If it works, can be enabled everywhere.

Should there be too much issues with spam, we might have to disable this.

Requires user documentation, open questions:

[all of this without creating a user account - which would be besides the point - unless it’s possible without JavaScript]

  • How to post a new thread? [yes, possible]
  • How to reply to existing subjects one was not subscribed before?
  • How to subscribe to a category or whole forum - without account - like to a mailing list?
  • Mailing list archive? How to view without javascript?

Any missing features we can suggest to discourse.org upstream.

Reply by e-mail works - I am using that often.
