No. It seems to be a forum, much prefer mailing lists, forums always
treat email as a second-class (or worse) add-on.
Discourse is one of the best if not the best of the web-based forums in
terms of supporting mailing-list mode. I participate in a couple where I
operate primarily or exclusively by email.
But, it needs the email feature to actually be enabled and a lot of
Discouse installations don't bother, in which case you can read via
email but need to pop into the web interface to post.
While I actively prefer mailing lists, the reality is what it is: Forums
work better for new users, and for one-off question askers.
As someone who enjoys supporting and helping others, the forum has
another perk: Users can actually search and find related topics to have
a chance at solving their own issue. Discourse offers up suggestions for
related posts automatically.
