1. A system, comprising: a data store, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, configured to store at least one discussion forum message and at least one email message in a data structure that is accessible to both an email logic and a discussion forum logic, where a discussion forum message is a post to a discussion forum; and a coordination logic operably connected to the data store, the coordination logic a being configured to provide shared access to the discussion forum message for both the email logic and the discussion forum logic, where the shared access provided by the coordination logic for the email logic includes providing the ability to perform one or more of, reading a discussion forum message, replying to a discussion forum message, deleting a discussion forum message, restoring a discussion forum message, blocking a discussion forum message, and tracing a thread associated with a discussion forum message using the email logic, to maintain read status consistency for the discussion forum message in both the email logic and the discussion forum logic, where the read status consistency is maintained by one of updating a field in a data structure, manipulating a value in a database, and manipulating a value in the email logic or the discussion forum logic, and to honor threading information associated with the discussion forum message, where the threading information is used to maintain discussion forum messages in a tree structure in the email logic as organized in the discussion forum logic.
