Personally, I'd rather we see more concrete features added to the script long before this "post by mail" option be seriously considered. While I believe it would be a useful option in a workgroup environment, it alone would not add much in the way of "community building". Mailing lists are great for some people because it is true, you can send/receive messages very easily, it does help people communicate and come together – to a certain extent. But we're talking about forums here. Not a mailing list.
There are a great number of much more useful features that have been requested in this forum that I’d rather see added to the script than this option. I’ll not debate the usefulness of this particular feature in detail only because I do not have the time to give the argument the time it would deserve. I’m just voicing my vote for a “wait and see†approach to this while other key features take precedence. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
