There is now a GUI version of the FORUM client available for Open FORUM.
We are also working on getting a web-ized server which will only require a

I am posting with a specific topic, but want to thank David Sommers
for his recent post expressing caution about splitting discussion between
the new VistaOffice (which is a forum) and the historically unified hardhats
(which of course is a mail list) I don't have a confident answer for that,
Forums generally suck. Web tools squash communications and of course,
are nothing like the tools for handling email. Nearly ever major

Tyrus,

messages by thread and a couple of other variants.follow the link

Joseph,
By forum style do you mean the accumulated archives of an email list? I
