Re: Moving foundation-list to discourse?

Hi,

I'd prefer to use Discourse. I'm sick of the spam and would like to leave foundation list, but still want to read Board minutes.

Thanks,

Meg

I found the discourse mailing list mode to be inferior to a mailing
list.

For example, code posted on the Web looks much different than what gets
sent via email, cf. https://ibb.co/g3nHtB5. I don't think it's possible
to discuss code like that.
Another issue I have is that the "mailing list mode" effectively
subscribes you to every "mailing list" rather than the one you were
interested in.
I appreciate that the "guide to discourse with email" posted at
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/interacting-with-discourse-via-email/46
mentions that the mailing list mode is "hardcore", but the alternatives are lacking.  That is, "watching" a topic doesn't send you an email if you have read (or written) something on the Web interface. At least that didn't work for me.
I can now mute topics, but then I get surprised as soon as new mailing
lists are being created on the discourse platform.

Or have I just not found the right buttons to click?


Also, I wonder what the expected benefits of blocking replies to a
thread that hasn't received a message for 14 days are. Or is that just
default configuration that hasn't been changed?

Cheers,
  Tobi
