I have been asking similar questions for a some time now but the answer remains elusive. For a while, I was even considering going with mailgust in order to have this capability.
I understand that the mail2forum part presents some technical challenges. For now, I would be satisfied just having a forum2mail component similar to what is found in Wowbb. In this model, users subscribe (by forum) to receive individual messages or daily digests via email. The emails contain the full text of the message as well as the link to the message should they want to reply.
If users at least can receive posts by email, they can then be compelled to reply via the link.
And yes, I also would be willing to contribute some $$$ to see this happen.
