Re: emails/subscriptions yet

I like the idea of email subs.
I second that.
But it's wonderful to have the forums as they are now anyway, off course.

Thanks...

I know amaravati is on retreat, but I don't think all of them are
I tried with Amaravati, as you guessed :thumbsup:, and supposed that with the others would be the same. I'll try with another one. Thanks again!
