Description

I think that most people do not realize that they can create new topics on group forums via email. Sam, can you please review our current presentation of this information and think about whether we can make it more readily apparent to users that this is possible?

I can't find it, but we had an issue here earlier where I was asking Ray whether it might be possible to have simpler, listserv like email addresses for new-topic forum posting via email. The short answer is that given our Reply by Email system, neater (and group-wide standard) URLs are not possible -- each member has a custom address to which the message is sent.
