Discourse vs Mailman 3 comparison

[sunjam (james.network)]

Main two features that seem to be quite different when using Discourse are:

• Cannot reply* via email subject line to a specific topic thread as you would on Mailman.
• You’ll want to update your documentation so users know to use the Watch and Mute options in email replies. Plus, definitely follow the guide linked above. ^^
• Install Expose Email In plugin so users without an account can click an email icon in order to anonymously create posts on your forum in specific categories.

Expose Emails In -- Plugin by Mozilla

Expose Emails In is a plugin developed by Mozilla for Discourse. I do not maintain it, but I hope to see a plugin category appear for it. I’ve found very little documentation or mention of it over the last few years. Here is how it works… an email button is added to the topic, as opposed to the usual +New Topic button [image] You must designate a specific email address for each specific category. optionally Accept emails from anonymous users with no accounts
