One thing that I've seen recently, and something for you to test for, is
the discorse integrations into mailinglists often end up with the
capability for emails to be sent to the mailinglist with no context. 
That is to say, the discourse user's comments come to the mailinglist
without the previous comment/content/quote.  So you will get emails to
the mailinglists with just "Yes I agree" or "That was amazing to read"
without context.
