I don't know what others think, but this is not working for me. My inbox is a sea of mail, some of which are replies with history, some of which are not; some have replies in-line, some have not. We definitely need an alternative place to post discussions. If the forum notification system does not work properly then maybe we need to get into the habit of checking the forums regularly?
