REQ: Auto Subscribe All in Forum

[gopherhockey]

We have a group that wants to mimic the functionality of the online yahoo groups in our forums so that they can get rid of yahoo and start using vb and keep things "local" and ad-free etc. Plus, who wants to be forced into a yahoo account

Problem 1: On yahoo if you are subscribed to a thread you get the option to get emails or read them online. In vb you have to subscribe to a thread in order to get emails.

I would like a way to take one whole forum, regardless of the underlying threads, and force emails to group members for every post. (or make it an option at least for users not checking the forums regularly)
