Show HN: Consider Groups – Like Slack Channels for Email
Is there any work being done to add to SMTP and other open protocols to address these issues?<p>I had started to look into doing it as a hobby project, but as far as I could see, you need to be in the mail server to do the proper magic, and it would ad-hoc.<p>Basically what we&#x27;d need are ways to:<p>- Forward an entire conversation to someone. (To add someone to a channel.)
- Have the recipients of a message be based on them subscribing, not you adding them to the TO: or CC: fields.
- Have a way to subscribe and unsubscribe.
- Have a way to receive the available channels.
- Have a way to reference a past message.<p>All of which are supported by mailing lists... but nothing is standardized, nothing is protocol-based and email clients have no built-in supports.
