I use the email gateway.  I use a different email address, so I can
separate forum email from personal email.  I use a decent email/news
client (Forte Agent) that threads messages properly.

This generally works very well, except for the very annoying bug where
non-unique message id's are created which screws up threading
occassionally (more so these days than it used to).

I've considered switching to use gmane NNTP in the past if this doesn't
have the same threading bug as mail, but news delivery is less reliable
than email, and there's more of a delay in recieving replies.

There's an Addon for the Info Browser plugin that shows the last 20
forum threads on the UI (player and web UI supported).  This displays
all messages in the threads (although its linear not threaded).  I
thought this plugin addon received the data as OPML from the rss feed,
so I'm suprised if RSS feeds only show the first post of each thread. 
I wouldn't have thought that RSS feeds would be a good way to interract
with the community though.

BTW, I was going to modify the info browser addon for the SlimDevices
news reader so that it displayed 20 threads for each forum, rather than
collate the most recent 20 threads across all forums into one list.  It
also doesn't look at the developer forums.  Is this easy to tweak, or
does it depend on the available RSS newsfeeds?
