Hey Roger,Indeed it does. You can set up Email Mode (that may not be the actual name) and it’ll work just like a mailing list.You can also subscribe to just a particular category, so the Internals one would map to the discussion on this list.

This has been answered affirmatively in this very thread before.
The forum even has a "Mailing list mode" in addition to several other mailing options (including a nifty "activity summary").

Hello,
unfortunately, the subject lines of the emails sent by the forum have the forum category prepended. These prefixes are long and make it difficult to parse a large number of emails quickly, which significantly reduces one of the main strengths of mail(ing-list)s.
To be honest, I'm surprised that not more mailing list members
argue in favor of the mailing list.
The mailing list makes it easy to read or at least glance at every single message, if desired, while enabling readers to skip uninteresting threads quickly. This is a lot more difficult on the forum, especially with the user interface as implemented by Discourse, which wastes a lot of white space (lines with much vertical spacing, as with the topic lines on the Latest page, are difficult to parse quickly) und whose „last visit“ line is unreliable, especially if you read the forum on multiple devices (home, office, mobile, …) with possibly several tabs open at the same time.
I'm aware that I'm in a minority and that there is no way to
convince the relevant people to keep the mailing-lists, but in my
opinion the switch the forum is a step backwards in accessibility,
usability and easy of use.
Best regards,
Carsten
