What if you just have (1), and don't even bother with (2)?

Nabble only as a forum is great, but I want email integration as well, otherwise there are some communities that require it (email integration). Otherwise I have to go back to yahoogroups, phpbb-M2F, or the like.  Nabble with above (imo, proper ;) ) email integration works much better for me...if I can get it to work without that much work...and having to create an email list for every forum.  I'd do a Debian-Mailman thing--probably not that hard; but it could be easier.  ;)

Make sense?

In short, not really.  I could counter many of the above points, but it may not be worth debating at this point.  Nonetheless, I very much appreciate your taking the time to describe this stuff, Will.

For now, I'll just make a mailing list for every (sub)forum as I mention above.

And for the record: I'm not requesting to change Nabble's capability/behavior/interface for mailing lists.  I'm just looking for a way for me to interface with Nabble's email-list subscription without having to create a full email list (which for my cases would provide very little besides a fixed email address for inbound email).  I may try hacking around with stuff to see if I can get something to work and ask questions later.  Until then, suggestions welcome.
