Good point, but that needs the forum to support it(*) and leads to a
proliferation of RSS feeds. IME feed readers aren't as good as handling
large numbers of subscriptions as news readers, so I always prefer the
NTTP way :).

IME this is even more annoying -- you usually can't reply directly to
such emails and it's often a multistep process to be able to reply
(requiring login, and so forth).
