Email based workflow for the mod portal

[mkaito]

Hi!

I'm an email person. In particular, a plaintext email person.

Which means there are two things that I would love seeing.

Here's what a message notification looks like for me:


While the email is reasonably simple, it's still unnecessarily annoying that I have to read raw HTML

The other thing is that I'd like to just reply to this email instead of having to open the page first.

Have a nice day!

Sorry to gravedig, but I would also like this feature. I have been using a mailing list for support on my mods, but people have a hard time sending plaintext emails in this modern world's html-by-default email clients. The email workflow works so well for me that I would really like not to abandon it, but it actively discourages people from asking questions and reporting bugs.

I would love an option to send the content of the post in the email, and for the portal to accept replies to the email and put it on the thread. That way, I could retain the workflow that works best for me, while making the end user's workflow much less painful.

Ironically, I use the same mail client (aerc) as mkaito.
