- You can't edit a message that has been send<br>
- Tagging capabilities are very limited (no public tags…)<br>
- Searching & linking… (quite sure this has been mentioned extensively ;-)<br>
- Mail.app splits topics in strange ways, so it is very hard to follow discussions<br>
<br>
Sending a message is the only way of interaction, but imho it would be beneficial to have a lightweight alternative to just signal agreement (or something else) to posts.<br>
Receiving little or no feedback can be frustrating, and I expect there are many messages that didn't receive the attention they deserved, just because it is somewhat stupid to write an response that just says "absolutely right, I have nothing to add here" (feel free to prove me wrong ;-)<br>
<br>
Mailing lists have some benefits as well, but afaics, Discourse can basically run a list on top of all the discussions, so we wouldn't loose anything.<br>
