People who interact with the forum via email will still have their own
copies. [ ... ]
Does that mean that despite "Discourse" the current mailinglist system,
that is, sending mail to the list and receiving them back *together*
with possible answers in some thread - will be kept working?
Except the messages of those who interact via only the Web interface
("Discourse") won't be ending in my email inbox anymore? Is that
correct?
Thanks in anticipation
