For example, code posted on the Web looks much different than what gets sent via email, cf. https://ibb.co/g3nHtB5. I don't think it's possible to discuss code like that. Another issue I have is that the "mailing list mode" effectively subscribes you to every "mailing list" rather than the one you were interested in. I appreciate that the "guide to discourse with email" posted at https://discourse.gnome.org/t/interacting-with-discourse-via-email/46 mentions that the mailing list mode is "hardcore", but the alternatives are lacking. That is, "watching" a topic doesn't send you an email if you have read (or written) something on the Web interface. At least that didn't work for me. I can now mute topics, but then I get surprised as soon as new mailing lists are being created on the discourse platform. Or have I just not found the right buttons to click? Also, I wonder what the expected benefits of blocking replies to a thread that hasn't received a message for 14 days are. Or is that just default configuration that hasn't been changed?
