i imagine this mail2forum provides some sort of "[Subforum]"-tag
before each e-mail. To answer to a thread, simply answer the last mail
of that thread. To start a new topic, just write "[Subforum]New Topic
Name" as Subject of the mail. At least i would implement it this way.
And if it isn't so, we could simply write ourselves something like
that. I mean: we have plenty of developers in here.
How do you make sure that the [Subforum] really exists when users type a
message? How do they remember the list of tags? Does the sender get back
a notice and has to send it again?
A feature of forums, actually *the* feature that make allot of
sub-forums possibly in the first place, is that moderators can move
posts... email miss-post is not different from forum miss-post so this
should be a no problem.
If we fix so reply go right, make it possibly for power user to get
first posting go right then moderators can take care of the rest.
News might be a better 'backend' then mail. Can use equaly many
subforums and mail can move as the moderator moves them.
mail<-->news is then a simple step. Nothing (apart from moderators can't
move miss-post) stops lists from being equally divided. can we subscribe
to hierarchies (this forum and all present and future sub-forum) it
would be OK.

I prefere a list... or a newsgroup really... that's how i read this list
(gmane). Sometimes I use gmain web interface but I newer tried to post.
