It seems to me the suggestion to couple the forum and this list would 
work. Automated coupling, nothing manual. Every new subject on the list is 
a new forum thread and every new posting on the forum a new message on the 
list.

That would solve the issues with the information on the list not being 
easy accesible and the list users can access the information in their 
inbox like they prefer.

In a way the forum versus list issue is like vi versus emacs. Neither 
party will admit the merrits of the other solution and in the end both 
lose.

Best regards,

Jac
