Assigning to me temporarily because Vy-Shane no longer works for Moodle HQ.

One of the most challenging aspects of online instruction is creating a natural conversation in the forums. This is especially hard with small class sizes. By allowing replies to forum posts by email, it would help speed up the response time which would make the forum feel more interactive and more like a natural conversation.

There has been some discussion of this functionality:

Someone has done some technical planning for this feature using a session ID in the email.

This is an important management tool for teachers. It would allow me to post materials and news items without having to enter moodle. I manage 3-4 courses a semester on moodle having to cut and paste items into forums is time consuming.
