I like the the new forum can be mirrored to an email list so that I can continue to consume it the way I used to. But I'd like to request some features that would make it a little more convenient.
The From header is just "`From: <sqlite-forum@sqlite.org>`". Could we add the display name of the sender, like "`From: drh <sqlite-forum@sqlite.org>`"? Otherwise there are dozens of emails that in an email client aren't distinguishable
Secondly, most mailing list software indicates that the post is from a mailing list. The sqlite-users list has several:
List-Id: SQLite mailing list <sqlite-users.mailinglists.sqlite.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/sqlite-users>,
<mailto:sqlite-users-request@mailinglists.sqlite.org?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/sqlite-users/>
List-Post: <mailto:sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org>
List-Help: <mailto:sqlite-users-request@mailinglists.sqlite.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users>,
<mailto:sqlite-users-request@mailinglists.sqlite.org?subject=subscribe>
List-Id in particular is used by my client but I suspect the others are used by other clients as well
Lastly, the "References:" header is also used by mail clients to allow for message threading. An example from a recent post to the regular mailing list:
References: <CALwJ=MxrXpeFZVWUzoUon9fgZN3VFjsLUJJvCF+-1uAqc1UsDg@mail.gmail.com>

<7812CC0B-929D-4987-8133-A732C5366EE6@kreibi.ch>
I suspect it's actually easier to implement this on a forum->email bridge than on a regular mailing list because you control the initial messages as well as the followups so you're in control over all of those IDs, but I'm no expert
