From there:

"It definitely is, if anyone wants to use their mail client to interact
with Discourse, they can. That’s exactly one of the features we looked
into when we originally deployed Discourse back then. The workflow
mainly is:

    You watch a category or a tag or both
    You receive mail sent to the registered mail address for your
    account, hit the reply button in your mail client and respond as
    you’d do with Mailman, the reply is then stored in Discourse,
    simple as that"

So, I have to register for yet another system and faff about with its
interface just to get all the email to the NetworkManager group sent to
me? And this is somehow reliant on other people using the correct
tags/categories?

Consider me utterly underwhelmed.
