Just a short notice to say that we have now configured Discourse to integrate better with email.

  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:

    replies+learn@discourse.haskell.org
    replies+links@discourse.haskell.org
    replies+show@discourse.haskell.org
    replies+events@discourse.haskell.org
    replies+jobs@discourse.haskell.org

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.
