Suggestion: E-mail posts

[Taildragger]

A bunch of users on my board are requesting a pseudo-mailing list option.  Has anyone considered this?  It would simply E-mail complete messages to people who subscribe either to the whole forum or maybe by board or category.  Ideally, users could also reply to the E-mails and have their reply posted to the forum.

Would this be possible/difficult?

Are you sure about that? Do you think you could send me a link to that mod? I'm curious as to how they did the email-reply being automatically posted.

Sure, I even have it running on my sp1 board at http://www.damien-hs.edu click on messageboards, check it out.  I don't think I have the latest up but I have one or two back, but most of it is up on my site.

Here is the latest version and info:

Here is what it has:
What does this mod do ?

This sounds awesome.  

Hopefully, some enterprising individuals will kick out a version for Yabb SE.

So what do you YaBB guys think?  Can we get this in a future version of YaBB SE?

Isn't this only for the perl version of Yabb?  It sure doesn't look like it's meant to work withh Yabb SE.

I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks.
