Hey, I noticed that the "reply by email" feature of this forum no longer works.  I checked with the folks who host these forums, and it sounds like they have intentionally removed this functionality.  So unless they get a lot of complaints (at support.nabble.com), that's not coming back.  Which is unfortunate, since that's the primary way I interact with this forum.

They've also dropped the "[ES]" in the email notification subject lines, which also is unfortunate.

That's a major bummer. I used that feature a lot. t was a really useful feature.

Yeah, some folks on other forums really depended on "reply by email", so I'm monitoring what they end up doing.  As I may want to do the same thing here.

Marc, do you know if Nabble has fixed this yet?

They're not planning on fixing this, as far as I know.  It's a cost-cutting measure.

Looks like maybe it's working again, since I just got an email through the forum.

e-mails still get sent out from the forum.  It's just that in the old days, you could interact with the group solely by email, so you could hit reply and send a message by email.  That no longer works.
