email and Discourse [was: A Workplace Story]

Fred,

You can’t send email to discourse. The reason is that the general disorganization of subject lines and subject matter in CSGnet email often is not a clear fit to the categories and topics there. When you’re logged in to Discourse, you can assign a post to a category/topic and create new categories and topics, but your email message can’t do that. And if somehow we could arrange things to work that way, it would defeat one of the main reasons for the move.
