or, if they have an RSS feed, like most good blogs do, you could use 
Thunderbird or another similar email client (the new Mail client for 
OSX.4 i hear does this now) and follow blog discussions as easy as 
email via RSS feed subscriptions. thunderbird will even display the 
entire contents of a web page as it would appear in a browser if you 
want (as opposed to just reading simple textual/image entries).
