Personally, I think you are focused too narrowly and aren't seeing the
forest for the trees. Email protocols were long ago standardized. As a
result, people can use any of a large number of applications to read and
organize their email. To my knowledge, there is no standardization
amongst the various forum tools out there. I'm not suggesting discuss is
necessarily better or worse than other (often not open source) forum
tools, but each one implements its own walled garden. I'm referring more
broadly than just Python, or even Python development, though even within
the Python community it's now difficult to manage/monitor all the
various discussion sources (email, discuss, GitHub, Stack Overflow, ...)
Get off my lawn! ;-)
Skip, kinda glad he's retired now...
And that's exactly why I consume Discourse in mailing list mode, with
client-side filtering in Thunderbird.
I do go to the site to post though. Tthat's possible by e-mail, but the
lack of standardization in reply/quoting styles and makes it hard for
Discourse to format e-mail replies nicely. (Traditional clients aren't
perfect at that either, TBH.)
