Nathan the amount of noise from a forum emailed to you is INSANE. Think about how many people on the mail list complain about anything off topic being noise now. If I was getting forum emails it would just go off the charts. Digest Oye, read through a zillion topics again. Email. goes in thread One email subject and all email go into that thread and I never see another email accept the original. Forum would be a new non threaded email for every forum post. At least thats has been my experience with other forums.
