It's probably not 100% on-target for what you want to do (not to mention
being overkill, perhaps), but I use Drupal to do exactly what you're
describing, using the Subscriptions add-on module.

Basically, people sign up, read and post to topical forums (web based)
but then also have the option to "subscribe" to any forum (or specific
thread, even) and have new posts to that area emailed to them. Anyway,
thought you might want to peek at it.
