Is it possible to post messages through email?

Yes. Rural Mail Talk has an email subscription that allows you to receive emails for each message posted under a forum. If you reply to those emails, your response will be appended to the discussion.

To subscribe to a forum, open the forum page and click on Options > Subscribe via email. You can choose if you want to receive an email for each message posted or just new topics.

Detailed Explanation

This forum has a built-in mailing list that people can use to communicate. In other words, users can compose, read and reply to messages via email independently of the forum web interface.

If you want to subscribe to a forum, open the forum interface and click on "Options > Subscribe via email" as seen below:



Here you can see the options when you click on that link:



(1) Individual emails - You receive one email for each new post under the forum. If you reply to such emails, your message will be archived as a new reply on the forum.

(2) Digest - You receive one email with a summary of all posts created in the last 24 hours. You can't reply to this type of email.

To reply to a forum message from your email program, just click reply like you would any other email message.  Your post will be posted under the appropriate discussion.  

To manage your subscriptions, click on your profile (top right corner), then click on "Personal Settings > Email Subscriptions". From that screen you can change and remove subscriptions.
