Google Wave might be another good alternative.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 2:13 PM, Voyagerfan5761 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vf5761@technobabbl.es">vf5761@technobabbl.es</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm trying to think of something else that's similar, because I know that Google can't be the only maker of mailing list software that allows users to interact with it like a forum, but I'm coming up short.<br>
<br>A quick search of (for example) the bbPress plugin directory shows a lot of email-related plugins, but the notification plugins seem to only work on favorite threads. Perhaps one of those can be used as a base for a plugin that presents users with settings similar to the mailman settings for this list but for forum threads. Then reply-by-email would be (unless I've forgotten something) the only thing left.<br>
<br>Yes, trying to use bbPress would probably draw on the developers in this group. But if anyone else has a better idea, please shout out. I'm not fond of the Google Groups idea either myself, but I too would like to have a forum-style discussion platform.<br>

<br></font><br>PS<br>Until and if we switch to a forum, does anyone know if there's an easier way to reply to a thread when using digests than copying-and-pasting the subject of the relevant thread?<br>
