llvm dev - Jan 2022 - LLVM Infrastructure Changes - Moving to Discourse

From the blog post:

"Fully supported Email interface - Discourse supports the ability to 
interact through email if you do not like to use the web or app
interfaces."

 From the Migration Guide:

"*TODO:* Creating new topics via email is supported 
<https://meta.discourse.org/t/start-a-new-topic-via-email/62977> but not 
configured at the moment. We would need to set up an email address per 
category and give Discourse POP3 access to that email account. This 
sounds like a solvable issue."

Seeing those two, which relate to the question I asked in June last year 
[0], I was wondering if this means I cannot actually stay with email if 
I ever want to start a thread/topic. Maybe the information above is 
outdated but as we are "moving now" it might be good to actually have 
that ability for the few of us that are not yet tired of email.

Thanks,
   Johannes

Johannes,

We are working on this and will be sending an update to the list when we have
more details. Until then, the ability to reply by email is supported currently.
So at least one can start testing out using email to respond if they wish.
