In regards to starting threads using email I have gone through and set up email addresses for the various categories. The hard part is communicating this, and the options Discourse gave weren't exactly the best. For the first attempt I have done the following: 1. Added a menu item at the top for "Starting Threads Over Email" 2. Created a forum post[2] which documents the categories and their email address If there's any other suggestions on it feel free to raise it.
