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'm aware of that. But it can't happen just by replying to a notification message, like in a ML. I'm saying it's OK the way it is.

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.

I agree. We want the interface as intuitive as possible. I'll work on the wording of the subscribe links. But if I come up with good wording then can I get my second subscribe link?

As for subscribing unregistered users, that's a pain and possible security hole.

Actually I was suggesting when the unregistered user clicked on the "subscribe to messages" button it would act like when a user clicks on the "new topic" button, i.e. it would ask them to login or register.

I suppose you could make a copy of register form without any of the optional fields and use that as subscribe form.

That would be even better, because it would make it simpler for the non-computer savy.

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.

Great. It would be best if it was compact to, like a ML header. Because for viewing a discussion in a email client one doesn't need a verbose header. Then again, a verbose header like you have now is a bit more user friendly. Can I also get the additional header In-Reply-To?

Quote:

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

I don't think it was in the same spot (above the message) when the message is sent in HTML format. If it is, sorry, I must have missed it.
