* Posts can be marked up using Fossil's existing [/md_rules |
Markdown] and [/wiki_rules | Wiki] markup languages. No longer must
you choose to restrict your discussion forums to plain text only
(good for security) or to allow HTML-formatted MIME email (good for
complex discussions). Fossil Forums provide <em>enough</em>
formatting without giving up security.
* Fossil forums integrate with third-party [mail transfer
agents][MTA]. If you've got mail service configured on the server
hosting your Fossil instance, it can send notifications of new
posts to interested forum users, complete with message content for
those that prefer to visit the forum only when they need to post
something.
* Because Fossil accepts forum posts only via the web UI, it is
inherently [./antibot.wiki | protected against bots].
