We use mail2forum (www.mail2forum.com) and phpbb2, and patches
and/or advice are welcome.

The mail2forum guys are openly asking for additional developers, and I think
we've deployed from source, so patches or configuration advice would
be helpful.

For phpbb, I know that Jeremy would be more reluctant to take patches, as
he's using Debian packages, but perhaps he's overlooked a setting;
again, advice is appreciated.

Cheers,

Jeremy
