Also there is the solution to follow all or part of a forum with rss.

I prefers rss as:
it does nt stress as the email,
i can follow everything,
i can click on the title to see the text if the title interesting me. In forum 
i have to click on a subject but it takes a lot of time to see the topic in a 
new page

Yes indeed, I also like mailing lists for their simplicity and speed.
RSS is good to follow a forum.

Another suggestion I would like to make is mailing list integration.
An email to the mailing list would also be posted on the forum and a
posting on the forum gets also posted on the mailing list. A
forum/mailing list like described is for example the Nginx forum
http://forum.nginx.org/ ,although that one is based on phorum and not
phpbb like Magiea's forum.

A google search showed two options for mailing list integration with phpbb:
1) m2f (mail2forum) http://mail2forum.com/
2) foum-mailing list bridge
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=2099210&start=15

(disclaimer: I have never set up a phpbb forum or any other forum, so
I have no idea if those modules work. I am just a user.)

There's already a mailinglist2forum bridge in place by a 3rd party:
http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/


For comparison's sake, the LibreOffice mailists[1] all operate this way, the mailists are bridged to GMane, forums (Nabble Gateway) this offers great flexibility with our different teams. IRC is available as well. I have to say that by covering all communication bases this way, the LibreOffice teams have been able to make great headway in the very few months of its existence. I am very impressed at how few complaints there have been of the communication process just by having covered all of these forms right from the very start.

Taking a look at this setup may be of interest.
