I am going to guess that GitHub assumes a stable internet connection to participate in discussions. I'll double check this.

We are currently evaluating Gitlab to improve our code review needs. I will look into Gitlab as a discussion platform as well. Specifically how it interacts with email. Rebecca Cran also brought up that Phabricator allows discussions to be interacted with via email. A quick search for Phabricator and "Configuring Inbound Email" it seems that one can both receive and send discussion messages if configured properly. Rebecca, can you confirm this?
