Yes, that bit is pretty standard functionality; but usually they're little more 
than a notification that something was posted, maybe the first few lines of a 
post.

I want:
 * The entire post, and as little notification-type content as possible,
 * headers and subjects so that mail clients that support threading will thread 
everything from a single forum topic in a mail thread and vice versa,
 * and, most importantly, the ability to also *reply* through mail and have it 
appear in the forum thread at the appropriate place in the conversation

Those things are what would make it a proper mailing list integration, instead 
of just another notification tool.
