@ Aron Wells
Yes, for instance the forum software PHPBB (www.phpbb.com) can be integrated 
with Mailman (www.list.org) using the 3rd-party tool M2f (www.mail2forum.com). 
It can be configured so that every message in a particular forum is sent to a 
particular mailing list, and vice versa. Subject lines of emails are used as 
the topic title in PHPBB. 

Maybe you can get some clues from it.

  Allow users to send emails to discussion forums

  Here are the initial two postings:
  Hello,

  Is it possible for a forum to also act as a mailinglist? Meaning that
  the user can participate in a forum through their email client as well
  as on the Mahara site itself (similar to Google or Yahoo Groups).  I
  know that my participation is likely to be higher if a reply doesn't
  reqiure logging into Maraha each time there is a new post to a forum.

  Thanks,

  Mike

  =========

  I have the exact same question. However I don't think currently that
  is possible, but would be a great feature for a future Mahara version.

  As administrator I receive several replies to the forum messages as
  direct email messages instead as forum messages, despite the "Please
  do not reply to this message" warning at the bottom of each forum
  messge, that seems nobody reads.

  I agree that users participation may be increased with the mailinglist
  <--> forum feature.

  Regards, Roberto.
