I have used the email support on other Discourse instances and can say that it is *really* bad.

Hi, Aubrey and Sam would like to try Discourse as an alternative for the wikisource-l mailing list. A pilot installation is up and running at https://discourse.wmflabs.org/. There is a separate category for wikisource-l related discussions on the Discourse site. Members can create new posts by mai

I'm amazed -- a non-mediawiki idea for discussion! ;) I reckon it'd be worth a try. People who don't want to use the web interface can still just post and reply via email. And I like the idea of non-threaded disucssion... it works really well on all the sites I've used it on. --Sam On 2016-
