Using email with this forum

While this is primarily a web based forum, there are a number of options for getting email notifications and you can, if you prefer, use email as your main way of interacting with the forum by enabling “mailing list” mode.

Post new topics by email
To post a new topic via email, use the following addresses:

• To ask for help or support: openrefine+support@discoursemail.com
• To create a topic related to OpenRefine development: openrefine+dev@discoursemail.com

What email address do we use if our message isn’t a support request or a development topic? openrefine@discoursemail.com doesn’t appear to work.

In which category of the forum would you want your message to land?
We can set up email aliases for any of those categories as far as I know.
If none of the existing categories seem fitting for your message, then we can create new ones.
