It  is  a shame people should abandon so simple, stable, and
undemanding media as the mailing list in favour of the heav-
ier,  more complicted, and partially web-based Disourse, al-
ready with the worst elements of social networks, such as  a
ranking system.

I don't see how it is possible. Although Discourse is adver-
tised  as able to work as a mailing-list system, it fails in
this function in several ways:

   1.  It requres the web to set up and start using,  whereas
       e-mail  predates  the web.  I can access e-mail from a
       much older PC than I need to access Discourse.

   2.  Its web frontend fails to display  hard-wrapped  plain
       text messages correctly, in a monospace font.

   3.  It  is anachronistic in supporting several markup lan-
       guages, sush as phpBB and Markdown, all of which  were
       created after the invention of e-mail.

   4.  Its  treatment  of Markdown is crippled due to literal
       interpretation of line endings, which is  against  the
       Markdown   philosophy  and  incompatible  withh  hard-
       wrapped plain text.

On the bright side, Disrourse is free software, amenable  to
improvement and integration with classic e-mail.
