% have you seen it work badly?
Yes.
% What hasn't worked for you?
A) The timeframe for messages coming from the site are irratic and so it is not possible to have a meaningful flow of email conversation with it.
B) The content/format of some of the setups make it so that you may get announcements by email, but you can not reply reasonably. All you can do is go to the website and use the website.
C) Some set ups assume that my mail client is a web mail client. Which is not true. And so they break my client
D) the format of messages are often restrictive, so when people use the natural features of the mail clients, they don't translate directly to what the forum supports.
E) I have yet to see a seemless interaction where one person used email and the other used the forum for anything but the most minor of conversations.
F) Using mailhandler assumes that I have rights to change the PHP installation configuration of my ISP. This is an assumption that is most often false. And I have not yet seen a mail handler installation which could be done cleanly on a site where I did not have root.
(But I have not looked at mailhandler for several revs.... )
% > Do you have a recipe that works well?
% There is one here - <http://civicspacelabs.org/home/dgroups-recipe> look % down where it talks about mailhandler - they are integrating with sympa % - but I've done it with mailman and ezmlm - no difference.
thank you. I will study it. I have found that organic groups breaks my node permissions by role code. And since node permissions are of high priority to me, I have not ever gotten an organic groups solution to work as I want.
but I will ignore that and try to understand the steps to see how clean it can be.
