How does someone start a new thread by email

Hi,

If I wanted to start a discussion (say here in site feedback) how would I do that via email?

Looks like it’s something that might need to be enabled/configured first:

@bcourt is right, it has to be manually enabled on a category. The email address for this category is fedoraproject+site-feedback-3@discoursemail.com, but it is not activated. It would be nice to have a process for our Discourse admins to turn that on when it is requested.

Good idea! In fact, I already suggested a process in Guide to interacting with this site by email – flag the “about this category” post for moderator attention.
