I use this forum via its email interface, and I agree that it works.  The 
biggest disadvantage I experience is that although you can _reply_ to a thread 
via email, you cannot create a new one; you have to use the web forum 
interface for that.

I don't know whether the forum software used here could be modified to allow
that - I raised the same point on the FreeSwitch forum and an admin quite 
happily turned it on.  Maybe that could be investigated here?

It actually is turned on for some of the categories, but as it's a hosted
instance I am limited in the available plugins and modification that can be
done to make this more clear. We can add documentation on the docs site for
it, and see if we can do something else.
