Alas, in my opinion anyway, using Discourse as a mailing list is a very subpar experience.

- it changes the 'from' address, making off-list replies impossible
- replying to the 'from' address bounces, making 'reply all' broken
- there's no 'List-Post' header, so it's hard to start new threads
- it sends html email
- the text-only part of the email renders quotations poorly
- quoted text in replies get removed, making inline replies impossible/broken
- it does something weird with emoji characters, changing them to strings like ":ok_hand:"
- it discards email signatures

Cheers,

Sean
