Yes. I've been suffering from a Discourse instance (in another context). I tried to participate via email and it does treat email clearly as a second-rate citizen. It clearly tries to nudge you into its Web "UI". Luckily in my case, the forum degenerated into a write-only medium (fora sometimes have this tendency) and it was discontinued. Phew. > Communication style may be quite different, more synchronous and with short > message. It may be inconvenient with traditional mail user agents. Absolutely. There are subtleties which don't travel well (in both directions). It's too easy to forget how much the "UI" can become part of the message. Cheers -- t
