The ruby forum web gateway is pretty bad in my opinion. What you’re probably forgetting is enabling e-mail notification. You have to enable the notification by hand, it’s not done automaticly on posting. And, the notification mails often don’t contain a link to the message, even though it was intented to be there. It will just say click here: . But if you’re looking for an alternative, try Gmane ([www.gmane.org](http://www.gmane.org)). It’s a news (NNTP) gateway to practicly every mailing list in existence. And if the list you wan’t isn’t subsbribed to it yet, you can do it yourself (or ask the list admin to). Anyway, open your favorite newsreader, point it to [news.gmane.org](http://news.gmane.org), request the list of groups, and subsribe to the ones you want. If a list is public, all you have to do is confirm the first message you send to the list and you will be able to use it without effort in the future. If it is not public, subsbribe to the list using the same e-mail address as configured in your news program, but disable the mail delivery, since you’ll be retreiving the messages in your news program, and not via e-mail. If you wonder what’s the advantage. Most news programs are a lot better at keeping track of conversations. I use the KDE program KNode for example. Works pretty well. ---

Thanks guys sorry for poluting your list… I was evaluating Rforum for a webstie that i am doing, but it looks too early to use. I wanted to see if it email gateway was better than mail2forum, and other solutions, but it is not, adn teh forum part is very bad, no editing, missing allot of features. Well it’s just a v0.2. I did enable email notification, i am recieving them now, it takes way too long, and there is no reply link in the notifications. Anyway i will stop now, and once again sorry for “testing” on your list. Thanks for replying Ray, Wiebe. -Dan ---

Yes, but in the case of an hybrid forum (that is what i am setting up), part forum part with a category with MLGateway, there is a need for post editing on the forum categories.
