Barouch Yes Chuck exactly. For example www.genforum.com and boards.ancestry.com use this method. 1) If a person posts in a forum, the message appears in the forum (web) and ALSO anyone subscribed to the email-connected-list for that forum gets an email with the entire posting therein. 2) If a person responds in a forum, the response appears in the forum (web) and ALSO anyone subscribed to the email-connected-list for that forum gets an email with the entire response. 3) Anyone who gets one of the two above emails, can respond directly to that email, and such response goes to anyone else on that email list, but does NOT make a copy go back into the forum from which it came.... So therefore, you can have threads in forum, and also threads out of forum if you wish or response threads that exact for several layers out of forum or in forum. Of course some people might also want the out-of-forum responses and threads to be archived, which we already do at infocus or whatever its called.
