While we are on the subject of mail and OG, if somebody wants to take over and fix mail2og (http://drupal.org/project/mail2og) I'd gladly hand it over. I've got to much going on right now to maintain it. Mail2Og takes arbitrary to addresses and maps them to drupal group titles. It needs some love. a. On Nov 18, 2009, at 2:54 PM, Kieran Lal wrote:

But what would be really cool, though require some custom module work, is a way to make G.D.O operate more like Google Groups. People could choose to use the web site and/or email - ala listserv style. Of course that would require pumping emails through a script handler, which can be done in PHP. It would also be a rather sweet contrib module to allow other sites to do a similar type system.
Great idea!
We started in 2005 an released it in 2006. http://drupal.org/project/og2list
Everybody wants it but nobody wants to fund it.

Until g.d.o gets actually useful email notifications, I am against this.
Right now, g.d.o is useless to me, because the notifications system has regressed.
(All we really need is good titling and threaded support, for my purposes. it doesn't need to *respond* to email, I'm perfectly ok with clicking a link to reply).
