I'm looking for high quality web discussion board software. A lot of what I've seen so far sucks in one way or another. Here's my wish list:

* Open Source
* Written in Perl or PHP (not an absolute requirement, but it'd be nice)
* Look and feel controlled via CSS, not a horrid mess of tables and font tags
* Avatar support
* A built-in simple registration system
* Good RSS support. I have no time to visit every forum I care about on a daily basis. I want a feed per-thread, a feed of new posts, and a feed per-board. Bonus points for full posts in RSS rather than just summaries.
* Uses MySQL as the back-end database
* Avatars
* E-mail integration. A user should be able to say "notify me via e-mail if someone responds to my post."
