Actually, you can post messages via e-mail to FUDforum. It works by the same mechanism that import mailing list messages, just setup a procmail rule to forward e-mails to FUDforum's import script...

I am somewhat reluctant to have 2 very similarly worded subscribe links as that will cause immense amount of confusion to many users. Many of FUDforum users are not very computer savy and any lack of clarity will cause them problems.

As for subscribing unregistered users, that's a pain and possible security hole. Consider to subscribe a user needs to provide an e-mail, to avoid having people subscribe other people we'd need to have some sort of validation mechanism. Which brings us back to register form, which really requires only 3 other pieces of info, name, login and a password. I suppose you could make a copy of register form without any of the optional fields and use that as subscribe form.

I do agree that adding some sort of a header to indicate the source forum would be useful and I'll look into adding that.

Current e-mails sent by the forum already contain the un-subscribe link.
