I would really like to still be able to use 1 tool, i.e. currently the mail client, to read the mails for either devs or users. Sure, answering to users should be done on discourse, but I would not like to have to juggle yet another service.
This does not have much to do with the users mailing list. As I explained to you on IRC you can very well receive all discourse messages by mail if you want which is exactly what I do (I never go to forum.xwiki.org directly, only from some mail I received).
I understand that what you describe seems like a bug. Did we try to report it to discourse? On a quick google I'm unable to find such a behavior described. We could try reporting it otherwise.
P.S.: I have re-enabled the "Enable mailing list mode" option to the discourse mailman user. Will watch it to see when/if it gets disabled again.
Thanks, Eduard

Guys, I thought we were going to make the users list read-only, not disable it completely. This is now what was discussed, AFAIK.
Where did you see that? At least that’s not my proposal. My proposal is to make it read only.
Right now, I haven't received a mail on the users list since 12th of June.
I haven’t made it readonly yet so I don’t know if it’s normal or not.
FTR just noticed 2 users have contacted me telling me they cannot post to the user list anymore. So someone must have changed something on the user list, but it’s not me :)
Thanks -Vincent
AFAIR, a proposed flow was to receive mails of the discussions and, if
you
want to reply, you'd follow the reply link in the mail an open the discourse browser window.
So, only discourse could be able to publish to the list, all other list users would get rejected.
The proposal was: * Make the list readonly except for a given discourse user who’d have [email protected] as its email so that we can still archive discussions done with discourse on markmail, nabble, etc.
However: * I have configured a user having [email protected] as its email and in “mailing list mode” but after it sends its first mail, the “mailing list mode” is automatically disabled and I don’t know why.
Conclusion so far: * We need to make the list readonly. I’ll do this next week when I find some time. * I don’t know how to fix the issue listed above * In any case I don’t think it’s that important that we don’t archive discourse discussions on markmail so I’m fine with dropping this part.
Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Eduard

It's a small thing but very annoying: is there a way to reply in-line? When the post you want to reply to is long it's pretty hard to keep context if you can't reply in-line. The alternative is to copy and quote the part that you are referring to, but it's not that nice.
Yes it’s possible and very easy to do: simply select the text you wish to reply to and you’ll see the option to reply to it :)
Thanks -Vincent
