Access forums with email?

Hi,

These forums are such fun. I was in the middle of typing this question first time round when I was jived around a little and asked to log in again -- just like that.

Anyway, the question is: Is it now possible to start discussions and reply via email? Getting everything sent to my inbox, where it's sorted with filters, is easy. But I'm not able to answer (clicking reply results in a delivery failure notification). Nor am I able to initiate a discussion via email by clicking on the "Start a new discussion by email" link in the all forum messages that come into the inbox.

I was able to get the forums software to send me a .vcf file (vCard) which claims to allow discussions to be created by email. But it doesn't seem to work.

Is there some setting I'm overlooking in my forum account, or is this a wild goose chase?

Thank you.

Ariel
