As a band-aid, you can use the procmail recipe below. It changes
the subject line to Re: question_subject [bboard_name].
Together with a threading mail reader (i.e., one that can thread by
subject lines alone, such as Gnus), reading the bboard becomes quite
comfortable. It isn't exactly rocket science, but somebody might find
it useful ...

rcvstore is an MH command that stores its input as a new
message in the folder +acs-spam. If you don't use MH, you
need to substitute whatever is right for your mail format ..
