Is there a way to post a topic via email, or can we only reply to messages posted to topics?
Currently only replies work through email, but the Discourse team is working on adding post-by-mail as well.

reply reply

Reply by mail is still broken. When replying to a mail, convention is to keep an attribution line and reply to quoted parts. Like so:
