As for my preferences, I would use nntp instead, not email, nor forums.
What's the difference as you're using Thunderbird/Seamonkey for mail? What do you use for NNTP?
No, I mean that IMO the best group communication method would be nntp, not email, because it does not require subscribing. You can not get full mail boxes, and you can go back in history and see posts written years ago, way before you "subscribe". But it is not a popular method nowdays. Maybe it has disadvantages, re abuse. Maybe higher server load. Dunno. The forums here do have an nntp gateway, so I actually participate in the openSUSE forums using nntp, and this is wonderful.

On the other paw, that, where I do want me to be allowed to
Paw? Are you a kzin? :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
