If someone can tell me how to configure discourse to work like a

 - work sanely with replies-from-mail

then I'm certainly happy to adapt.

Moving to Discourse breaks this and proliferates browser tab syndrome.  It’s an experiment worth conducting, but I do think it’s a bit cavalier to shut down python-committers without further discussion.
