Could you elaborate on that? Ansgar seems to use "User-Agent: Evolution 3.36.1-1" (While I'm using mutt.) How do such UAs track reading behaviour? > Quoting does work in most circumstances.

It is useful for notifications, but by far not en par with the web UI. After reading more about Discourses many features ("likes"...), this is completely understandable that one cannot mimic one medium via the other. Trying so, will lead only to frustration. Btw. do you know by accident, how I can "lurk" in Discourse via email? E.g. Let's say, I'm subscribed to debian-project, but only to know what is going on. Can I subscribe to a "category"? Cheers
