I think you are missing my point: Why isn't fud as popular as phpBB? I guess you can make a list with possible answers. You can start working on each of fud's issues. This is more important than extending fud mailing list functionality!

That 'trivial hack' you propose, is not at all trivial! I tend to think that a good forum is one that can be installed & used by a typical internet user... Im confident that 'almost anyone' _would not_ be able to, say, use fud as a mailing list without problems. Yeah, go on and tell a typical user he must write a hack to import msgs via POP3, then pipe'em to fud =)

I agree fully on your policy for developing features as requested, sounds reasonable. But notice that, in order for this to actually help expanding the community of fud, fud's users should ask for the proper features... and as ive seen this has not always been the case. I see that the typical fud user is very different to the typical phpbb user, correct me if Im wrong.

Uhm i guess im drifting a bit on the topic Smile

But hopefully you'll get my idea.

Procmail is a versetile tool that I recommend, but ultimately the script itself will accept data from ANY other app as long as the complete message (header + body) are piped to it. So, to make a cron process or something else would be a trivial hack for almost anyone.

New features are implemented on request, so I see no reason to add something that would be used by a dosen users and have no use for the rest of FUDforum users. Therefor, new things appears generally because either people make a strong case for such features/additions or I think such a feature would be of use.
