Email as a tool for gaining access to conferences. David R. Woolley says: Caucus has a bi-directional e-mail-conference gateway. When you subscribe to a conference by e-mail, once a day you get all the new messages that have been posted to the conference. They are bundled by topic: all the new responses to topic 57 are bundled into one e-mail message, new responses to topic 96 in another, etc. To post a message to the conference, you just reply as you would to any other e-mail. Do we need this here?

Nope. No community - the whole point is to draw people in and make them part of something more than an e-mail list.
