I am also using the Plone `Discourse` forum in "mailing list mode".
It now works quite well but it took some years before reaching this state.

For a very long time, my mail replies did not reach the forum reliably.
My latest complaint (more than half a year ago): when I had visited
the forum via `http` (I did this occasionally to verify
my reply has reached the forum), it sometimes thought, I had
seen a new message and did not inform me about it via mail.
Meanwhile, all replies seem to arrive reliably and I no longer
use `http` for access. Therefore, I do not know whether
the behavior described above still persists.
