Yes that is possible by setting your preferences (navigate to Account --> Preferences). You can subscribe to automatically watch by e-mail particular topics and get a notification of any new topics/posts. From your mail client you can also reply directly to any topic (by replying to the notification e-mail). Your response will be displayed in the forum inline with other replies. This topic has been opened already by Avri on the forum itself.

[There is request to put all this down in a user manual which will be being worked on]

Ok.

If you are using your e-mail you will not need to login every time.

Maybe many have missed it but I have mentioned the work on all of these changes in my mail of 18 Dec 2013 where I was announcing the transition of the list from @nro.net to 1net.org.

Of course this will be happening soon. The archive of its mailing list / work is already public.
