e-mail capabilities

[محروم.كوم]

I'm evaluating software to set up forums for use in developing countries where internet access is extremely rare, slow, and/or expensive. Our users will not be able to do a lot of browsing or "surfing". Their style has to be more "get in, get what you need, get out".


We would like to be able to use e-mail to notify people when there are posts that might interest them.

I know a user can subscribe to a thread. But can a user subscribe to a forum, and be notified when a new thread is started in that forum?

Can administrators send e-mail to all registered users? To members of a specific user group? To individual members?

Thanks! __DEFINE_LIKE_SHARE__
