If I recall correctly, email already does what you want. The problem
seems to be the option that the person selected in their subscription
options to this mailing list.

Forums would only make stuff complicated unless there is a way to reply
by email directly to the email responsible for managing the forum topic,
and also most importantly: if the forum is not behind a wall of non-free
autonatically-executed client-side software writen in JavaScript (search
for "gnu javascript trap" for more information), which happens to
exclude most forum software.

I once *heard* that GNU Mailman version 3 has forum-like interface but
with proper mailing list integration. We are using GNU Mailman, but not
the last version, and I don't know why. I know little about the
internals of GnuCash project's infrastructure because I'm just a user.

Back to the problem of digests:

For those who are currently receiving digests: if you don't know how to
deal with them, or is like me (who doesn't want to bother
separating/looking for the right metadata in order to answer a message),
then I have a hint that will make everybody's life easier: Disable
digest in your subscription options.

Alternatively, the digest message itself says what you should do in
order to reply properly, this also includes changing the "Subject"
field/header of your message so as to match the one you are replying
(unless of course you want to start a new topic coming from that same
thread), so unless you don't understand it or don't want to deal with
this reply method: disable the digest and go back to one email message
per reply.

Now an advanced hint for those who decide to keep using the digests: it
also helps if you copy the value of the original message's "Message-ID"
field/header and insert it as the value for a field/header called
"In-Reply-To". Good email client software should be able to provide a
way for you to insert any field/header, not just "To", "Cc" or "Bcc".

The correct way is simply to start a new email with a meaningful subject
line and send it to gnucash-user@gnucash.org.  Then others will reply to
that and a sensible email client will show the whole conversation in one
thread.

New Topic ... Threaded Discussions

While I am immensely impressed with the speed and diligence shown
in these messages (particularly to new unskilled members) I do
wonder whether there is not much better software for
topic discussions where each thread has its
original title and the discussion of
each topic is separate using
dated messages, and
author names in
a clear format.

The message board systems I've encountered have this extra clarity.
Are there no free ones?
