Thanks. But we don’t want new users to must-read old posts, we want old users to must-read new posts. And we don’t want to make them confirm these.  
Up to now, we have a mailing list and send important messages to that list. Now we move to discourse and still want to make sure, certain messages (= first posts) are delivered to their E-Mail-Account.

But as looking further down, that use case might be possible with tht plugin. I’ll take a closer look.
