[TYPO3] Mailing list or forum?

Hmm... maybe just a stupid idea but what about subscribing with a
dedicated mail-address (not the one you get all the other mails to) and
setting up a webmail which knows about threading etc.? It would look
perfectly like a forum...

The funny thing is that there is no fundamental difference between an
e-mail, a newsgroup posting and a forum posting. They all consist of a
header which includes sender, receiver and threading information and a
body (maybe attachments too). The rest is display-stuff.
