Can someone please clarify the exact difference between these?
Can you elect to have email notification of replies even in normal forums?

There are three places users can subscribe to the forums.  Two are the same notification, the other is different.  When using the checkbox when viewing posts, this is its own thing and will notfiy you only on replies to a particular thread.  The other uses My Settings and the checkbox when viewing a list of threads in a single forum.  These notify you when a Forum (Using Gallery) has a new thread.

When you set up a forum though- you can select either a 'normal' or 'notification' type. Is there any functionality difference between them?

I want to investigate this a bit further as Tam has done most of the work in this department.

Originally, the forums also handled newsgroups.  This was dependant on a third party dll so it was removed before becoming a core module.  I am not sure if this is a seperate thing or if it is just reamainging from the original.

If you select a forum as notification forum, and select roles to be notified, users in those roles will receive notification email, even they don't subcribe themself in that forum or subscribe on any thread of that forum.
