If you have a Discussion Board in SharePoint 2007, and have successfully deployed a workflow which triggers when new items is added or created in the list, and decides to switch on "E-mail enabled list", you normally (unfortunate) see that the workflow isn't firing.
To make this work, you have to apply what must be somewhat of a long operationcommand via stsadm-tool:
"stsadm -o setproperty -pn declarativeworkflowautostartonemailenabled -pv true"
Note that I've only tested this on WSS 3.0 with SP2 installed, and didn't need to install the kb953749 fix.
If you have WSS 3.0 or WSS 3.0 SP1 you might need to install this fixes before the above command works.
Battle plan:
Install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Infrastructure Update:

Run the very-long-command as described above and in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
