It also has a mailing list mode. >From the foreman post, in the comments: Email interface does not really work, there should be rather called “notifications”. You must visit the site eventually. I personally find this a fatal flaw, I do not have time to waste visiting slow websites for each project I follow. If I have to switch away from my mail client I just end up unfollowing the project unless I am focusing specifically on it at that time. > It really is a much better solution.
