Well, thanks to the information available here, I now have a working forum/email list integration. The listhandler/mailhandler combination appears to be doing exactly what I need it to do.

Sort of.

For whatever reason, (I'm sure it's just and ID10T error), the forum will send to the email list ONLY in the case of a "new topic". Replies to an existing topic don't get sent.

I'm pretty sure I've missed something incredibly simple, but I'm darned if I can find anything on the drupal.org site that will give me any insights. But, without the ability to send "replies" made at the forum back to the list at large, I'm not sure how much value the integration has. Not everyone will want to log in just to see if they missed something.

Any guidance that can be offered will be appreciated.

Absolutely no one has successfully gotten forum replies (comments) to send back to an email list?

Which is why I'm inclined to believe that I've missed something. But I have been over it repeatedly and I still can't figure out what's wrong.

My only (potential) clue is that reply's are "comments" and not "forum topics". And I haven't the foggiest notion as to how to make comments into forum topics.

Anyone?
Please?

It took almost three days before I discovered the patch that corrected the original shortcomings in the modules code, but once I found it (and patched) the listhandler.module, everything works as I expected. (and hoped)
