Might this be a problem when revisiting the same topic but later? One can create a new topic of course, and refer to the old one, but this seems to be one hoop to many to jump through. FWIW, I prefer a regular mailing list like this. I can save topics I have a personal interest in and go also go back with a reply or request more info later on.A good point. I've had a little experience with the Rclone topic on Discourse and must say I dislike it intensely, though haven't attempted to use the email interface. However it does have a 14-day timeout, which I think is entirely unsuitable for a list such as this one.
I went to Discourse and enabled the category thing per Andrés summary mail
earlier. I'm willing to give it a go for now, despite some initially not to
promising gotcha's.
I also enabled the mailing list mode ("for the hardcore" users) in the
preferences.
Now I'm waiting for some new topics to emerge and see if they end up in my
mailer or not.
