I am in favour of the forum, with the option of emails from the forum
also being posted to the current email list, as long as there is a
digest option.
I belong to a number of discussion forums, that can be viewed either
at the forum via a username and password, or via email in digest
mode. With digest mode, emails arrive in my inbox after a certain
number have accumulated. Depending on the amount of traffic to the
forum, I might get one to three digests a day from a particular
forum. I have found this is great for discussions I just want to
monitor, but don't want to participate in on a daily basis. The
topic of the post and the poster are visible in the digest, so if
there is one I am particularly interested in, I can scroll to it
quickly.
If there is a topic I really want to participate in immediately, all
I need to do is go into the forum preferences and turn off digest
mode and the emails would come to me as they are posted.
As others have mentioned, it would be good to also have a feature
where emails could be discontinued when someone was on holidays or
whatever. Upon return, the person could catch up with news on the
forum site.
Kudos to Paul for all his hard work putting it together. I like the
idea of breaking discussions down into different topics.
