1. You can now reply to email notifications to post replies to topics.

2. You can enable “Mailing List Mode” in your notification settings to get an email for every post (like a mailing list).

3. You can make a topic in a specific category by emailing one of these addresses:

Excellent, this should be pinned or put in [here](http://discourse.haskell.org/t/welcome-to-the-haskell-discourse/7)!

Only users with accounts and certain “trust level” are permitted to create posts by email.  
If spam becomes a problem then we can increase the trust level requirements but I’m confident at the current level that it will be fine.
